UTC as expected.

Given you're using systemd you're not even running hwclock during your
boot. Please see 'systemctl status hwclock.service'.
Please read up on the RTC handling strategy usually deployed when using
systemd. Please read the information already provided in misc bug
reports filed by people requesting to emulate the old strategy used by
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/time
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/timedatectl.html
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/timedated/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-timesyncd

Right. So systemd uses an entirely different strategy for time
adjustment than sysvinit did, in addition to which it comes with a
built-in NTP client (disabled by default on Debian, for whatever
reason) that can replace standalone NTP daemons. Great. Nice
features but they are badly documented, from the perspective of
systems that were migrated from sysvinit.

How much of this is still applicable for buster (or bullseye)?

At this point, I'm tempted to reassign this bug to release-notes,
since the migration on Debian from sysvinit as default to systemd as
default should have explained this, including the justification for
not enabling the built-in NTP client by default.

As you seem to be familiarised with the issue it would help a lot if you
provided a paragraph or two describing the issue and what admins have to
do.

Kind regards,
Andrei
