The network can be used already during installation (e.g. fetching
packages via FTP or NFS), so it is needed before the base system.

You have to admit that this is rather unusual :-) The installation
is for the more common case... But you can change it easily by editing
/etc/default/rcS, setting the variable GMT to "-u".

Debian is based on 2.0 kernels, so this is no real bug. But you're
right that it doesn't cost nothing to add the -net, and I'd consider
it a wishlist bug. (/etc/init.d/network and thus the bug report
belongs to the sysvinit package).

Ask Franky, or package it yourself :-)
