I switched that bug into "more feedback please" mode last night.  (I'm slowly 
churning through the bug list.)

I tried it from the command line and it "worked for me".  And on 
ubuntu, /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime definitely does not exist.  (The directory 
it should be in doesn't even exist...)  Hoary Warthog uses /etc/adjtime...
