Package: chrony Version: 4.0-2 Severity: wishlistHi, Could you please add the following line to the default chrony.conf file: leapsectz right/UTC
Funnily enough, I am working to make the fragmentation of the chronyd configuration easier. To make sure it works as it should, I wrote an autopkgtest [1] that adds (you guessed it!) "leapsectz right/UTC" to the chronyd configuration using a fragment in /etc/chrony/conf.d.
As to set "leapsectz right/UTC" by default, it's something I've been planning to do for some time, but I always step back knowing that this will cause problems for users of leap smearing servers [2] and those who don't update their systems and find themselves with an obsolete version of tzdata (nothing I can do here though).
And add a Depends on tzdata, so that the timezone info is available.

Both serve leap-smeared time.
