[Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Archive grep finished. I reviewed all matches of "default/rcS" and
"adjtime", notes are below. "rcSNOUTC" means "sources /etc/default/rcS,
but does not use UTC flag" (often uses VERBOSE, sometimes FSCKFIX)

These are the packages that need fixing:

installation-guide: drop our delta to revert docs to rcS
live-build: drop ubuntu-no-adjtime.patch
lupin: scripts/local-bottom/lupin_setup needs updating
mbr: install-mbr.c needs updating; affects Debian (#813671)
sysvinit: drop our delta of reverting adjtime migration
util-linux: adjust debian/util-linux.hwclock{,-save}.upstart; docs are already adjtime

upstart: some hits in init/tests/data/*.json, unclear if affected

These packages aren't affected or already use adjtime (there's 11 of
them):

Title:
  migrate UTC setting from  /etc/default/rcS to adjtime

Bug description:
  This has been an Ubuntu delta in systemd and perhaps other Ubuntu
  packages for a long time. But /etc/default/rcS is a SysV-ism, and no
  other setting in there is relevant. Steps:

   * Bump the version guard in systemd.conf for migrating the actual setting (keep until 16.04 LTS)
   * Ensure that we only look at the LOCAL setting during boot, and do no actual drift correction at boot, as the kernel does that by itself.
   * grep the archive for software which might directly look at or even write that file (Ubuntu specific config tools and the like).
