What is wrong with adding unit that calls initscript? This will fix timedated NTP information and leave time to work on native ntpd.service implementation.
I don't myself see anything wrong with that. (Though the initscript would then no longer want to live in /etc/init.d.)
Sorry? It ntpd.service that will live somewhere else; and it will call /etc/init.d/ntp.
One problem that seems to be totally ignored is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791106 Many people are affected, and it severely breaks dual boot with Windows.
Not a solution, but Windows seems to support hardware clock in UTC much better than Linux supports hardware clock in localtime. There's a registry key to change that which might be worth trying out.
You miss the point. System stores time in RTC as UTC even though it was explicitly configured to store time in RTC as local time. This is a bug. It is unrelated to whether I dual boot or not.
