"aptitude install ntp-server" and off you go.

I believe it's now called just `ntp'.

I know it's called a "server" and you want a "client" but there's not really
much difference with NTP and the default configuration should be exactly
what you want.

Indeed. Incidentally `openntpd' is also both a client and a server.
Openntpd is OK but it seems that it was developped for a kernel whose
time-tracking facilities are not as sophisticated as Linux's (at least they
don't use them).
did the following on my recent Sarge install, works like a charm:
apt-get install ntp ntp-doc ntp-server ntpdate
