Clearly it needs to act as a client to ntpds elsewhere. But perhaps it
shouldn't act as a server and permit ntp clients from anywhere to poll time
from it. Or perhaps it is not the right package to install, or recommend to
install, for people who want just an ntp client?

As i understand it, to use ntpdate is discouraged, because it can make
your machine go back in time among other things.
its superseded by ntpd -q
-q Exit the ntpd just after the first time the clock is set.
This behavior mimics that of the ntpdate program, which is to be
retired. The -g and -x options can be used with this
option. Note: The kernel time discipline is disabled with this
option.
it should interact with the network as a client, not as a server by
default. Even in your lan, even if you are behind a firewall. If you
want a ntp server in your lan, you want one machine as a server, and the
rest only as a client. I fail to see the logic to act as a server by
default. And so I opened bug #662770
greets!
