It seems that this was supposed to be migrated properly. From the util-linux changelog: > util-linux (2.20.1-5) unstable; urgency=low > [Roger Leigh] > * Improve handling of the hardware clock > - Migrate existing > UTC= setting in /etc/default/rcS to UTC/LOCAL in /etc/adjtime. > This removes needless duplication of the setting, and prevents the > behaviour of hwclock being overridden, and its configuration > overwritten every shutdown.
