Not quite like that. Just ignore the certmonger bits and configure with
--no-ntp and it should install more or less fine. Haven't seen the host
TGT issue before.. And 14.04 LTS has an updated client too, though it
also needs --no-ntp for now.

There never was any client for 10.04.. and won't be unless someone else
steps in and backports all the bits that it needs

The end goal is to not need any special references for Debian/Ubuntu,
but we're not there yet..
