The functionality behind the question is more complex. It is how the clock *should* be set. Up to that point the hardware clock has not yet been set. The update from NTP only sets the system clock, not the hardware clock. You are correct in so far that the wording of the template should be changed to better reflect this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
