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

[dotancohen]

This bug seems to have been closed WONTFIX as it affects older,
unsupported Ubuntu versions. However, I have encountered this bug on an
upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04, and other dupes of the bug show that other
users are encountering the bug on newer Ubuntu versions as well.

Please reopen. Thank you.

Bug description:
  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).
