If an NTP package is installed, systemd-timesyncd is not used.  It
just never starts.

On my system, it's not even installed.

After digging around a bit, I think Debian has changed something on me,
which I didn't notice until now.

In older versions of Debian, systemd-timesyncd and ntp (or chrony, etc.)
would coexist.  systemd-timesyncd.service was configured so that the
daemon wouldn't be started if any of the other NTP daemons existed on
the system.

I can no longer see that in the systemd-timesyncd.service file (which
I'm viewing as
<https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/blob/debian/master/units/systemd-timesyncd.service.in>
because it's not on my system).

Instead, the ntp and systemd-timesyncd *packages* now appear to have

Provides: time-daemon

which might make them mutually exclusive.
