Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package openafs-fileserver recommends ntp, which is
currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ntp

It got removed in 2022.

Other packages changed this recommends, for example dovecot[0] changed
recommending ntp to recommending "systemd-timesyncd | time-daemon". I
guess that the same can be done here

Thank you for your time,
