There has been such kind of suggestion last weeks but it has been
ruled out. I guess that the rationale is mostly avoiding features that
are only available in some D-I flavours.
Ruled out ? Oh well. ... Which explains the rather harsh reply of this
question only being 'noise'.
Hey,

Indeed. I do believe it is a small-minded ruling lacknig vision and temerity.
I am bitter about this whole issue, and this may reflect and color my attitude
over this, but since it has been ruled out, i will not insist further, because
i know what it is going to cost me once frans is back.
That information has no value ( it is noise )
It is not noise, it is very valuable information, because with it, you can
immediately check that your clock is set correctly or not, and if it is set to
UTC or not.
Ideally, we could even have a clock setting dialog here or something.
Yes,

I am not sure, but in the graphical installer, we could add a clock widget
somewhere from the start, and do clock setting pretty early one (we probably
only need hwclock and a little menu thingy), it can even be done before
base-install and partman, since there are no extra dependencies.

Rewording, in case this patch is accepted:
System clocks are generally set to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The operating system uses your time zone to convert system time into
- local time. This is recommended unless you also use another operating
- system that expects the clock to

While thinking about this BR, I was mostly sure that we indeed have

But indeed, I find nothing in the code...and nothing in the BTS.

This untested patch should solve this issue. I'm not sure where in
the template it is best to place the value, and hope someone else can
have a look before commit it.
