The trick about moving the symbolic link in /etc/rcS indeed works, but 
only if moved to somewhere WAY early in the boot process. In my case,
this meant moving to S03hwclockfirst.sh instead, giving me this rcS:

README                S30procps.sh    S43portmap
S01glibc.sh           S35mountall.sh  S45mountnfs.sh
S02mountvirtfs        S36discover     S48console-screen.sh
S03hwclockfirst.sh    S36mountvirtfs  S50hwclock.sh
S04udev               S36udev-mtab    S51ntpdate
S05bootlogd           S37setkey       S55bootmisc.sh
S05initrd-tools.sh    S38pppd-dns     S55urandom
S05keymap.sh          S39dns-clean    S70nviboot
S10checkroot.sh       S39ifupdown     S70x11-common
S18ifupdown-clean     S40hostname.sh  S71xserver-xorg
S20module-init-tools  S40hotplug      S75sudo
S20modutils           S40networking
S30checkfs.sh         S41hotplug-net

Btw, the problem also affects systems where /etc/default/rcS has UTC=yes
(such as this PPC workstation).

I'd also like to point out that S22 is valid for fresh Sarge installs, 
but Woody installs had S18 instead (God knows what default Potato had).

Thus, given how critical the position of this symbolic link is, it might 
be a good idea for the postinst script to call update-rc.d to delete all 
current symbolic links for hwclockfirst.sh and to upgrade them. This of 
course means cloning this bug and assigning it to 'util-linux' as well.

Finally, I'd like to remind you that this fixed 'e2fsprogs' cannot go into
Testing unless you explicitely ask the Release Manager to unfreeze it.

PS: Wouldn't now be a good time to review the boot order of ALL packages
with priority Standard or higher, before we enter the Etch base freeze?
