On a *nix-only system, your system clock would normally be set to UTC,
but Windows insists on setting the system clock to local time. The
solution is to inform Debian that the system clock uses local time.
One way of doing this is to run base-config as root and answer "no"
when asked "Is the system clock set to UTC?".
