Package: util-linux Version: 2.13.1-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
According to the docs of debian, if one wants to store local time instead of UTC in bios, he/she can set UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS. However, I found that regardless of the value of $UTC, hwclock always uses UTC. So under multi-boot environment, the time stored in BIOS is local, and this behavior make the whole system totally unusable since the time is always incorrect. Manually set the time via 'date' won't help. After reboot, the system time is incorrect again. The local time stored in BIOS is always treated as UTC. This is a serious bug make debian totally unusable under muti-boot environment. Please get this fixed.
