Using ConditionFileIsExecutable on specific NTP daemons seems odd here.
Doesn't systemd already have a mechanism for choosing from multiple
alternative implementations of a given feature, automatically running
only one of them?  If not, perhaps it should; that same mechanism would
then work for display managers, web servers, etc.
