Bug#801389: Disabling timedatectl/NTP across package upgrades

[Yuri D'Elia]

Package: systemd
Version: 227-1
Severity: normal

I'm trying to disable time syncronization, but I've found two issues happening
during upgrades:

- Disabling systemd-timesyncd.service is not enough.
  systemd-timesyncd.service gets automatically re-enabled on upgrade.

  Is this intended? I would argue that a disabled service should stay disabled
  on upgrades.

- I tried using timedatectl instead, even though I see no reason to use the
  timesyncd service at all.

  But "timedatectl set-ntp false" also got reset on package upgrades.
  The manual page of timedatectl gives no information on where this setting is
  actually stored.
