Which can easily be done without any special tools merely by renaming
those sym-links.

Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, it is likely that /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
will be available.

Take a look in your default run level directory (likely /etc/rc2.d/) and
see what the starting number (S...) is for your network script.

Then (assuming your ntp init script is named 'ntp'):

update-rc.d -f ntp remove
update-rc.d ntp defaults NN

(where NN is the new starting number higher than that used for the
network startup)
