Debian (e2fsck or whatever you use) is behaving *correctly*. The clock
tells e2fsck that it is <whatever date> and it knows that the last check
was performed on <another date>. So it *has* to check the file system.
It is what every other user would expect it to do.
Either replace the battery, or -at your own risk- configure your file
system to ignore the time stamp.
