   Don't you just love little things like that? :-)  A "man tzconfig"
reveals:

The  Debian  GNU/Linux  system gains its knowledge of this
setting from the file /etc/default/rcS.   This  file  con­
tains  either  the line GMT="-u", which indicates that the
hardware clock is set to UTC,  or  it  contains  the  line
GMT="",  which declares the hardware clock is set to Local
Time.

   Of course, that man page ain't exactly correct:-), but looking at
/etc/default/rcS will clue you in.
