I don't remember the exact issue I was seeing in runtime with systemd
and SysV scripts which were missing LSB headers, but it was handling
them somehow different.

If you search meta-oe git log, then you'll find many commit messages
where LSB headers were added when e.g. importing some older recipe from
oe-classic, that's good enough reason to add them to new ntp script,
isn't it?
