Absolutely sure. I did a clean install in a Virtualbox VM, just
following the console installer (not the GUI one). The VM clock was set
to UTC. I have been having this same problem with Debian 6.0, 7.0 and
7.1 netinst CD's.
The problem shows up as soon as I do for example `aptitude install
<something>`.
Perhaps LC_TIME is set based off something else? When I install new
machines I am *in* the Netherlands. Perhaps it guesses your location
from the network connection? Or perhaps from the mirror? I always use
ftp.nl.debian.org as the mirror for a netinst.
