[lug] debianisms?

Are these debian specific behaviors:

1) systemd starts an ntp client automatically even if no
    ntp package is installed

    /etc/rc.local needs to have:
       /usr/bin/timedatectl set-ntp false
    to prevent systemd from starting a process listening on port 123

    system upgrades seem to rewrite files like
       /lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf
    so trying to disable things there or deleting the service
    didn't seem like a durable fix

    This is a vm relying on the new(er) kernels providing time
    to the vm monitor.

2) the installation of nginx automatically started the service
    before I could configure anything.
