Unless I hear otherwise from the ntpdate maintainers, I have committed
and will upload a change to use this code in ntpsec-ntpdate:

# ntpdate also uses this directory, so if it is installed, leave it.
if ! dpkg -s ntpdate > /dev/null 2>&1; then
	rm -rf /var/lib/ntpdate/
fi

I suggest something similar for ntpdate:

# ntpsec-ntpdate also uses this directory, so if it is installed,
# leave it.
if ! dpkg -s ntpsec-ntpdate > /dev/null 2>&1; then
	rm -rf /var/lib/ntpdate/
fi
