And the answer is: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and
/etc/init.d/hwclockfirst.sh do that from package util-linux.

They don't do this anymore unless your system is not using udev.

It's a bug:

In which you state that you don't have /dev/rtc.  I'm not sure that
systems without that file are supported.


How does one go about getting /dev/rtc?
