That would be my understanding as well.

However on linux, the file should be named 85-hwclock.rules again.
Maybe this could be fixed too?

For hurd (and maybe linux), the big question remains, _if_ updating
the hwclock should be done by hwclock.sh by default.
I don't know the answer to this design question for hurd, or for
linux-with-sysvinit systems.
