The guts of this were implemented in Debian a while back, in time for
Ubuntu 8.04 (sorry, I should have closed this earlier):
clock-setup (0.90) unstable; urgency=low
* Make the menu item to run before partman, depend on configured-network,
and run rdate to pull time from NTP, as well as running tzsetup.
Closes: #236673, #247484
* Move the UTC question into the finish-install script.
* Use hwclock to store the correct time to the system clock at the end of
the install.
* Since hwclock has been known to hang on problematic hardware, deal with
hangs.
* Add support for using the rtc-dev driver on the nslu2.
* Remove old isinstallable file that was for sarge, we don't support sarge
installs anymore.
* Make whether to use NTP, as well as the server to use be asked as low
priority questions, and preseedable.

Ubiquity also uses this. As of Intrepid (ubiquity 1.9.7), it even
depends on rdate so should actually work! ;-) Note that it's run towards
the end of the installation rather than in time for the timezone
selection early on; this could potentially be improved in future, but
the basic idea of this bug should now be fixed at long last.
** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
