And what is the content of "/etc/adjtime"?
I ask, because the behaviour of "hwclock" depends on the contents of
this file (man hwclock).
On my system "/etc/adjtime" contains as the last of three lines "UTC",
in "/etc/default/rcS" there is "UTC=yes". So the hardware clock is run
in UTC. The system time zone is defined by "/etc/timezone" and the
summer time setting by "/etc/localtime". Both files can be reconfigured
in the Debian way:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
