We all know that the main point is a lack of documentation. But, as I
wrote in a previous mail, the problem at the moment is for potato
to have a "reasonable" default. We can't make a good solution at the
moment, the problem seems "simple" but is, actually, complex.
What is needed --- for woody --- is now *work*. So IMHO, and this would be
my last mail for the moment, the average solution for *potato* is to :
1) modify /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh so that the --adjust action is only set if
$GMT is set to GMT;
2) comment out the halt | reboot command `hwclock --systohc'.
