Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.86-1
Severity: normal

The script /etc/resume.d/50-time.sh runs "hwclock --hctosys" on ACPI 
resume to reset the time.

As the hardware RTC may not be in sync with the system clock at suspend 
time, there should be a corresponding script in /etc/suspend.d that runs 
"hwclock --systohc" (similar to what happens on shutdown via 
"/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop").

I am running NTP and without the suspend script the discrepancy between 
the correct time and RTC grows over multiple suspend-resume cycles (e.g. 
with an uptime at the moment of 3 days, ntpdate stepped the time by 7.5 
seconds on my last resume).
