In my opinion the fixed uid/gid would be better for the consistency sake (ie. it's done with others too), but I don't believe this alone justifies rebuilding package with just this fix. BTW: the FS#31416 got somehow fixed by enabling hwclock daemon for one boot (see comment at the bug report). I think util-linux -4 is good-to-go after the rc.sysinig is fixed for the new hwclock behaviour. Have a nice day, Lukas
