I'm trying to use my snowball for development testing. It seems that

When this happens ifup scripts are not executed and ntpdate is never
invoked. I have not debugged this correctly yet but that seems to be
the case for me.

Right. I've found that this option is somehow provided by default on my V1 (no typo here) snowball with the current desktop image. It would be prudent to check if any other boards are affected.

That's part of the hwpack meta info, no? If so, bark at Ricardo's tree (CCed) :). I agree that adding ip=dhcp by default feels incorrect, but I don't know the background...
