Question #79002 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79002

    Status: Open => Solved

Anders Bäckström confirmed that the question is solved:

Possible solution:
setting UTC=no   (instead of the default UTC=yes)
in /etc/default/rcS

This change seems to make ubuntu 9.04 handle file times stored on vfat
filesystems (by windows,digital cameras and mobile phones) correctly.

I hope this configuration change does not give any undesirable side
effects.
