commit 213e56e7bea7fadbfcfecf4feb7ce1d505b1dc28
Author: Anton Lundin <glance@ac2.se>
Date:   Fri Sep 13 14:55:35 2024 +0200

    Save any updated time to hardware
    
    If a machine boots fai, with a hardware clock that's wrong,
    it can be set correctly by either rdate or ntpdate.
    
    The issue is that with a modern Debian 12, the later call to udevadm
    trigger will trigger a:
    /usr/lib/udev/hwclock-set /dev/rtc0
    
    Where the wrong time is re-read from hardware, thus overwriting the
    newly corrected time.
    
    This prevent this by just saving the time to hardware after any
    rdate/ntpdate calls.

    add isc-dhcp-client, which is not added by default in trixie any more
    
    We still want to use dhclient, because no tests were made using systemd-networkd or similar
