Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate?action=diff&rev2=91&rev1=90>

** Description changed:

  indicator-datetime 12.10.2-0ubuntu3
  
  1. Add multiple other locations to the menu.
  2. Check "In the clock, show: Seconds".
  3. Open the menu.
  
  What you see: The time for every location shows the seconds.
  
  This is repetitive and rather distracting.
  
  I propose that times in other locations should show just the hours and
  minutes, regardless of whether you've chosen to show seconds in the menu
  title.
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#menu-locations>: "Each time should
+ be presented in the same way as it is in the menu title, except that ...
+ seconds should never be included, to reduce redundancy and avoid
+ distraction."
