pm-utils no longer synchronises the system and hardware clocks over a
suspend/resume cycle.

The rationale is that the kernel records the delta between the two
clocks on suspend, and resets the system clock on resume based on this
delta.  The mix of the two can lead to strange issues such as you've
seen (you either end up with no DST or double-DST).

We now just let the kernel do its thing.

Since the hardware clock will not change (and will just tick at its
previous pre-DST value), when you come out of suspend, your system clock
will still be in UTC (having had the delta restored).  All userspace
software uses this, and will apply the DST change properly.

The hardware clock is only changed to be DST-adjusted on shutdown.

** Changed in: pm-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
