I have a dual boot with Windows Vista, so I need the option
HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh. Everytime util-linux is
upgraded, it asks me to replace this file. As there are more differences
(not only this line), I choose to replace, but then I have to put
"--directisa" by hand (in sid updates come lots of times and editing
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh so often is annoying).
Why not replace /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh by the new one, *but* respecting the
option "--directisa" if already existing?
By the way, the Debian forums are full of posts about clock showing wrong
time. Why not a dialog to inform users about the option "--directisa" and
make them choose?

If you put HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa into /etc/default/rcS, then you won't
have to modify the file.
