Is the bug that the current "Windows detection" code is flawed or
absent, so Ubuntu installs with UTC=yes even when there is a Windows
partition visible?

Or, is the bug perhaps that some people install Ubuntu first (so getting
UTC=yes, correctly), and then later install Windows, and subsequently
the two OSes conflict over their interpretation of the hardware clock?

It seems unfortunate to add an extra question/checkbox to the installer
dialog if this can be reliably determined automatically.  Perhaps adding
a way to set this in System -> Administration -> Time and Date (and the
equivalent KDE utility) would be preferable -- keeping the installer
simple, but giving people who add Windows to their Ubuntu machine an
easy graphical way to set their hardware clock to local time?
