Agreed.

It would be better to package initscript + hwclock to separate packages
and then pull it to image only for machines with RTC.. but not making
whole busybox machine specific.

Another advantage of this would be option to use busybox-hwclock as utility
and hwclock-systemd instead of busybox-hwclock-init for images which are
using systemd.

Cheers,
