Package: util-linux
Version: 2.25.2-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Daylights saving are on since last week-end.  A security linux kernel was also
issued.  I rebooted after upgrading the kernel and the time was 1h ahead of real
time.

I remembered that there was a script to adjust the hardware clock to the kernel
clock in the '/etc/init.d' folder that should run whenever the machine is
shutwown.

So I set the date 1 hour earlier, and issued an '/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop'
and nada, nothing happened.  No output, no message at all.

Strangely enough '/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh reload' do work as intended.  A message
is displayed as it runs to confirm it.

This is an important bug.  It occurred at 11:02 PM, which put the kernel clock
at 12:02 AM the next day.  It broke a lot of scripts relying on timespamp to
run properly.  Munin is broken for 24h, mythtv recorded wrong programs and 
refused
to re-record them, the log is plagged with error messages, etc.  Please fix 
ASAP.

It's 100% reproductible
