That is not the solution to our problem. Hardware clock *is*
running on UTC, the problem is how to tell Ubuntu that
it should use UTC+0 timezone. I've noticed that some
distributions have, in addition to "geographical" time zones,
also "zones" which are specified as UTC +/- (x). There seems
to be no way to specify that in Ubuntu, either at the installation
time, or later.  cf.:
