Control: reassign -1 util-linux 2.25.2-5
Control: severity -1 normal

I still disagree with critical:

 - If the hardware clock is so broken that at the next boot it has an
   earlier time than on the previous boot/ntpdate, then writing it
   once more at shutdown isn't going to entirely fix this problem, as
   it will again go sufficiently wrong if you don't reboot immediately
   but after some time.

 - Second, this doesn't "break" fsck: fsck already correctly notices
   that the last write time is in the future and handles that
   appropriately; at least that's what the original reporter
   mentioned.

Also, under sysvinit and upstart it is util-linux which does the
hwclock <-> sysclock dance, thus reassigning this. We shouldn't
put this logic into different packages for different init systems.

I also disagree this should be done in the first place. But I don't
want to put myself into eternal wars and "who shouds the loudest
wins", so I'll keep this bug open and won't make any further
Severity: adjustments.
