Andreas,
I have prepared the necessary updates to src:sysvinit to incorporate the hwclock
machinery in initscripts. Specifically the files
/etc/default/hwclock
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
/usr/share/man/man5/hwclock.5
/usr/lib/udev/hwclock-set
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/hwclock.rules
Obviously we need to coordinate the transition and I will add Breaks/Replaces
<< the util-linux-extra version which drops the files.
If util-linux-extra were to use it, my understanding is that rm_conffile only
removes *unmodified* conffiles so user modifications should be preserved. But we
might consider synchronised uploads to experimental to test and confirm.
Best wishes
Mark
