What problem are you experiencing?
I've attached a patch to update /etc/default/rcS from the new defaults.rcS if certain conditions are met. Essentially, its sha1sum must match a version of the previous defaults, so we can be sure that the user did not modify it. If this is true, we do the update. I'm still unsure why it can't be made a proper conffile. Other than initial install (setting UTC), is it ever edited automatically? Surely if it's changed from the default, the dpkg conffile handling would handle this perfectly well? Regards, Roger -- .''`.
