Okay.. after taking a few seconds to really check what was going on
the solution is as simple as:
% hwclock -s --localtime
I've added a localtime module to grml-quickconfig and attached the
patch. Hopefully it will find it's way to the package. ;) (I did /not/
change the changelog.)
Btw: @mika: why was the "Happy Hacking"-output was dropped? I liked it. ;)
