In Etch, the script /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh reports the wrong local
time during the boot process.  System configuration:

* Hardware clock set to UTC
* Timezone set to Europe/Berlin
* /etc/default/rcS:
  TMPTIME=0
  SULOGIN=no
  DELAYLOGIN=yes
  UTC=yes
  VERBOSE=yes
  FSCKFIX=no
  RAMRUN=no
  RAMLOCK=no

Example:  It is now 20:55 in local time, but when I start the
system I get this output on the boot screen:

  Setting the system clock..
  System Clock set. Local time: Wed May 16 18:55:15 UTC 2007.
                    ^^^^^^^^^^             ^^^^^    ^^^

Line 86 of /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh is responsible for the wrong
output:

  verbose_log_action_msg "System Clock set. Local time: `date $UTC`"
                                                             ^^^^^^

Note that the variable UTC is set to "--utc".  In Sarge, the
command was just `date` which gave me the correct result.  But in
Etch, the displayed time is definitely not local time as it
claims.
