Please unblock package fake-hwclock Bug #779040 was filed - the systemd support that I added with help from Alexandre Detiste was not quite complete: fake-hwclock is not being run properly on shutdown. A tiny change to the service file fixes this, and I've just uploaded this in 0.9. There was also a trivial man page improvement which is in this version too - hope that's OK! (The bug was only filed as important, I've just raised its severity to serious as it's breaking the entire point of fake-hwclock for systemd users.)
