Hmmm... what's the latest ntpdate package version?  On my local test  
etch/powerpc system I just did "aptitude install ntp ntpdate" and it  
put in ntpdate version 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-1, which included a /etc/init.d/ 
ntpdate and a symlink /etc/rcS.d/S51ntpdate pointing to it.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
