Great patch. I agree about the dependency proliferation concern. The NSS
package pulls in sqlite, which might seem strange and unnecessary to chrony
users.

On the other hand, quite a few popular packages depend on NSS, including
Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbird, GDM, and LibreOffice, so they likely already
have it installed if they're a desktop user.

Since MD5 is such a weak hash, why is chrony still using it? Would disabling
NSS essentially expose chrony users to security vulnerabilities? If so, what
kind?
