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

First, please do not CC me on mailing lists, as per request in my
signature and the header of any email I send.

also sprach Tobias Hunger <tobias at aquazul.com> [2006.01.30.0947 +0100]:

It is early enough.

It appears to be. In Debian sarge, hwclock is started at S50, while
hwclockfirst is also started at S18. In Debian sid, it appears to be
at S18/S22 now too. See #342887.

Anyway, the changelog only mentions

    * Really move hwclockfirst.sh back to S18 where it belongs.
      Put hwclock.sh at S22.  See #50572.

Typical example of a bad changelog entry, IMHO.

Sorry for not checking this earlier. I was on a plane when answering
the post and had not 'Net access.
