I noticed this before, but it didn't bother me, since in a corporate environment I'd prefer if users didn't change it. They should only need to change timezone.
It's not a bug, you just need to install "ntpdate" and it will not be greyed out.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
With Kwheezy ntp service is installed and running by default. Therefore the KDE "set date and time automatically" is redundant. I haven't tested whether they will compete with each other (ntp, ntpdate). Probably shouldn't be a problem, but still it seems redundant. Also, if ntp and ntpdate is installed, and the KDE setting is not ticked, it may be confusing. Since the ntp will always update time and date anyway.

The "Set date and time automaticaly" is always dimmed on my ThinkPad T410 with wifi networking.
