Title:
  time selector sets hardware clock to UTC even if it defaults to UTC=no
  later

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  A friend of mine just installed Dapper on a box with already installed
  Windows. After that, the clock was off by two hours in *both*
  operating systems.

  I tracked this down a bit over the phone:

   - /etc/adjtime said 'local' (since ubiquity correctly defaults to UTC=no if Windows is found)
   -the hardware clock was set from localtime to UTC during installation. I can only assume that this happened when selecting the time zone in step 2 of ubiquity.

  After fixing the hardware clock to be the true local time again, both
  Ubuntu and Windows were fine.
