Bug Description

Binary package hint: base-installer

During the 9.10 Server installation, I hit [Left ALT]-F4 to see what was going on and saw this:

Nov 6 04:34:52 user-setup: Adding user adminuser to group admin
Nov 5 23:34:52 gpasswd[8199]: user adminuser added by root to group admin
Nov 6 04:34:52 user-setup: Done.

The 04:34 is UTC. 23:34 is Eastern Daylight Time, my time zone.

The log should use a consistent time zone.

I think user-setup may not be the only component flipping between time zones. The install logs are long gone and I don't have another machine to do a test install on.
