I agree to removing adjtimexconfig from postinst, which takes 70
seconds during install, is a good idea.
But the defconf selection on enable/disable service is another issue.
Yes, without adjtimexconfig running on install implies the service is
disabled by default. But user need an easy way to enable adjtimex
service after adjtimexconfig running.
Do you think it's okay to run debconf to let user decide whether to
start the service after manually running adjtimexconf?

Thank you!
