wrong conffile prompt for /etc/default/rcS when UTC=no

[Steve Langasek]

Because we're not following Debian on the use of /etc/adjtime for UTC settings and instead keeping it in /etc/default/rcS, users who have the non-default setting of UTC=no will get inappropriate conffile prompts on upgrade to saucy.

We need to deal with this by either reverting /etc/default/rcS's conffile status, or moving this UTC setting out of /etc/default/rcS (options: /etc/default/hwclock, /etc/init/hwclock{,-save}.override).

This bug seems to have been closed WONTFIX as it affects older, unsupported Ubuntu versions. However, I have encountered this bug on an upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04, and other dupes of the bug show that other users are encountering the bug on newer Ubuntu versions as well.

Please reopen. Thank you.

There is a separate issue for 15.10 to 16.04 upgrades, which is tracked as
bug #1572752.
