The hwclock initscripts are in the util-linux package.  There is already a bug
report (#342887) open against util-linux pointing out that the S22hwclock.sh
script requires /usr but runs before /usr is mounted, with the result being that
the system time is not set correctly on some systems.  The bug reported here is
related to that one, so I am merging a clone of this report to that one.

While I would hope that this problem would be fixed in util-linux, we should
consider working around the problem somehow in the initscripts package.
