I was wrong there. Looking at ye olde /etc/init.d/hwclock(first)?.sh it infers
that /etc/default/rcS is the file. Debian uses this to overide /etc/adjtime
for its time-related boot scripts from my reading of them.

This selects --localtime or --utc for hwclock if not specified, according
to the man page. The other possible value is 'LOCAL'. hwclock --adjtime
will do clock drift stuff based on this file.
Base-config appears to alter rcS but not adjtime.

with hwclock(outside of the boot scripts) only rcS needs to be right.
