Log:
  Note that ntpd_sync_on_start is a preferred alternative to ntpdate_enable.
  
  A similar note is already present in the description of the
  ntpd_sync_on_start variable.
  
  This patch adds a note to the description of the ntpdate_enable variable.
  This way it would be easier to spot.  Otherwise a user might skip the part
  of the manual describing ntpd_sync_on_start if they stop reading after
  learning about ntpdate_enable.
