That's the intended behaviour. Whenever you select a package that implements 
the same functionality as a Busybox applet, the selected package takes 
precedence. For this reason any such package should list busybox in its 
<PKG>_DEPENDENCIES. I see that the ntp package doesn't do so, but I think it's 
a bug. I'll send a patch shortly.
