Completely agree.

May be it was made for convenience but my practical experience after installation
on at least 3 computers told me an opposite - always comment out this
adjustment of hardware clocks. Otherwise nothing helps and my clocks will always
displays a wrong time.
Yes, I am relatively new to Debian (about year of reading and about half
of it I use only Debian as my home OS, but Win9x for kids).

I am not sure about. For my home computers (and for other thousands of users,
IMHO) the hardware clocks are primary ones as soon as computer is only
