I really wish we could just use /etc/adjtime instead, from hwclock(8):

  The format of the adjtime file is, in ASCII:

[...]

  Line 3: "UTC" or "LOCAL".  Tells whether the Hardware Clock is set to
  Coordinated Universal Time or local time.  You can always override
  this value with options on the hwclock command line.
