On my system I had to change the file /etc/init.d/boot:
# Set GMT="-u" if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT="" if not.
GMT="-u"
The comment should make it clear.
After changing that item (which determines if clock -a gets the -u
flags while booting) ensure that your system clock is correctly set
and call clock -uw to write the correct time into your rtc. The -u
tells clock to write the gmt time instead of the local one.
