Right.  This is not a fatal error, it is simply sysv-rc reporting
about an inconsistent set of boot dependencies and refusing to reorder
based on dependencies.  The system will boot as before, and just not
use the optimized boot sequence until this issue is solved and sysv-rc
is able to migrate the boot ordering.

The problem reported is probably that you have an old version of the
ntpdate package, with incorrect dependency information.

Can you try "dpkg -S /etc/init.d/ntpdate", and run
"dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' $package" on the package owning the
file?

Just a shortcut in the code, nothing serious.

Happy hacking,
