Then the OP would get the wrong time by the computer e.g. for software that does run without an OS, for saved BIOS settings. I use local time too and for Arch Linux ntpdate doesn't set the hardware clock anymore, so after running ntpdate I run hwclock on Arch, perhaps this now is needed for Debian too.
