Verified on all four targeted releases:
- the hook does no more start a disabled ntp
- the hook multiple times does no more is a thundering herd of stop/start ntp
- ntpdate does not stop ntp, warp time, start ntp (might warp back if configured differently)
- ntpdate no clashing with a (potentially) running ntp is not fatal (there is a log entry of the ntp socket being already in use, but that is correct - one could precheck if running and avoid even trying, but much better than restarting or timewarping)

No regression seen yet, so hopefully all is good. Setting verifications to done.
Still if some of the affected could test in addition to that that would be great.
