You probably have this file on your system but only in /initrd.img,
ever since they added that early fsck before root is mounted. It reads
[options]
broken_system_clock=1
and is put there by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fsck thusly
# e2fsck may fail or warn if the system time is not yet correct, which
# will happen if the RTC driver is modular or the RTC is set to local
# time. Disable this behaviour. (No other fsck does this,
# apparently.)
mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}/etc"
cat >"${DESTDIR}/etc/e2fsck.conf" <<EOF
[options]
broken_system_clock=1
EOF
Cheers,
David.
