[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#878074: Update virtualbox-guest-* will remove a well running ntp

With the theme that every change breaks someone's workflow*, my workflow has it 
that I usually run my Debian partition in a real environment, but sometimes I 
have to run Windows, so when that's the case I run my Debian partition as as 
VirtualBox guest. I expect this conflict against ntp will mean that my clock 
will drift on days/weeks where I'm not running Windows. My personal preference 
would be for a different solution...

Peace,
Brendon

*And, as per https://xkcd.com/1172/ , I await your response of "That's 
horrifying." :)
