Thank you for pointing us to /etc/adjtime. We had been getting other 
reports about this, but only very infrequently. As we did already set
/etc/default/rcS correctly, this has baffled us for a long time.

/etc/adjtime is unconditionally created by base-files (during base system 
installation) and so can just be modified in the clock-setup 
finish-install.d script.

Cheers,
