[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#659451: initscripts wants to assume UTC=yes in /etc/default/rcS

[Anton Eliasson]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
In the latest update, apt asked me if I wanted to overwrite my 
/etc/default/rcS
with the one initscripts now provides. The only modification was to change
UTC=no to UTC=yes (to assume that the BIOS clock is set to universal time).
Since I am dual booting with Windows my clock is set to local time so I
rejected this change. However, the change should never have been suggested,
since this setting was configured during the Debian installation.

This is the full diff output:
