[Bug 1184006] [NEW] wrong conffile prompt for /etc/default/rcS when UTC=no

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

Because we're not following Debian on the use of /etc/adjtime for UTC
settings and instead keeping it in /etc/default/rcS, users who have the
non-default setting of UTC=no will get inappropriate conffile prompts on
upgrade to saucy.

We need to deal with this by either reverting /etc/default/rcS's
conffile status, or moving this UTC setting out of /etc/default/rcS
(options: /etc/default/hwclock, /etc/init/hwclock{,-save}.override).
