I'd like to see
/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf
go away, once chrony, opentpd and ntp ship proper native .service files.
So I'd rather not see more stuff added there.

I think this should either be added to systemd upstream to have
ConditionVirtualization=!oracle

But I running under VBox virtualization does not necessarily mean, the
VboxService is running inside the host.

So I would really like to see this fixed properly instead, by having
virtualbox ship a native service file which has a
Conflicts=systemd-timesyncd.service

We won't get there by adding more workarounds to the systemd package.
