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).
