Bug Description

[Impact]
On a fresh 14.04-server install freeipa-client-install does not write to the correct ntpd conf file. Also, it needs --force-ntpd option to overcome a fault where the installer falsely detects chronyd being installed.

[Test case]
Using

ipa-client-install --enable-dns-updates --force-ntpd

it tries writing to:

/etc/sysconfig/ntpd

Which is not a correct path on Ubuntu

It needs to be /etc/default/ntpdate and /etc/default/ntp

[Regression potential]
None, the patch fixes a path. For chronyd it just skips is_enabled() for it, and since freeipa-client depends on ntp and chrony conflicts with ntp, there's no way chrony is installed with freeipa-client.

  * add-debian-platform.diff: Let testing chronyd always return false,
    since the package already conflicts with ntp so can't be

    forcing it. (LP: #1309655)
