@smb, actually, there is no create time field in the fs header, see

http://paste.ubuntu.com/25478756/

(this comes from a file with the mount time already corrected). This is
a partition created with android tools, as the ones from mkfs.ext4 do
not work for this device (for unknown reasons). I understand this is
sort of a special case though.

Title:
  fixrtc is ineffective when there is no battery for the RTC

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When there is no battery for the RTC, fixrtc is not able to find a
  good enough date. To fix the clock, this script is using the last time
  the root filesystem was mounted, but as that is done before there is
  any network, and as after a reboot/poweroff the RTC time is always
  reset (because time is not kept due to lack of battery), the mount
  time will never be good.
