How come there is two init scripts to deal with the hardware clock at boot up?

S18 is not that early in the boot process.

In fact only one script (S20checkroot.sh) is run between the two hwclock 
scripts. Checkroot.sh does not produce any output (in the non-verbose case), 
so the impression to the user is that both clock setup scripts are run right 
after each other.

Finally your argument does not hold, since S20checkrootfs.sh does *not* 
mount /usr. This only happens in S35mountall. Is hwclock run way too early?
