But if have a dual boot system with the other system expecting BIOS
set to localtime, Debian should be able to handle this:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html#s-multiboot-with
It may cause problems when rebooting after sommer/winter time changes
though, as Debian has no way of knowing whether the other system
already ajusted the local clock to the new sommer/winter time.
(To set hwclock to UTC/localtime, edit /etc/default/rcS)
