After a recent fresh install of Debian stable, I find that crontab entries are executed at the correct time, but in UTC, for both a normal user and for root. I'm pretty confident that on all other systems I've ever used crontab times are local.
The system clock is synced to an NTP server, and "date" returns the correct NZST time. I couldn't see anything useful in man cron, crontab(1) and crontab(5). /etc/adjtime indicates that UTC time is kept. /etc/default/rcS contains UTC=yes.
I'm all googled out. Suggestions?
Both 'date' and 'cron' load the compiled timezone entry pointed to by /etc/localtime. This is a symbolic link, where does it point on your system?

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jul 19 2004 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland
