aside from systemd adjusting hwclock on the
shutdown, there is also a call to hwclock.sh in
/etc/rcS.d/S07hwclock.sh which runs on the start
up, so i'm hoping to find out this afternoon if
i've finally solved this. hope so. :)

ould have one partition for
booting the stable distribution and only update that
when you have a good time for that.
the thing with these setups is that in Debian you
don't have to get automatic updates if you don't want
