Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10-6
Severity: important

tempo:~# touch -d 200812312359.60 3434
touch: invalid date format `200812312359.60'

so touch do not accept leap seconds.
It is important since exim generates log with 23:59:60 and such logs could
be split, so if the last message of the day (as ocurred in 2005 for me)
arrive on that second the log is stored with that date.
such bug in touch force me to hand manually days with leap seconds.
shold consistently change to 235959, not returning an error.
or better an option to have 010100000.00
