You need to install sysvinit-2.72-3, that fixes it.

That's right. There should be a /etc/init.d/settime.sh file, and a
link from /etc/rcS.d/S50settime.sh to that file. Note that this will be
renamed to "hwclock" instead of "settime" in the next release..

This might have been a bug in sysvinit-2.72-1 or -2

Doesn't matter, it isn't being used anymore. It has been replaced with
the /etc/rsS.d stuff.
