I'm creating a preseed.cfg file for installing Debian 8.6 in a 
dual-boot enviroment with some version of MS Windows. There are 
two distinct use cases:
    1. Two of my machines with WinXP Pro SP3
    2. A remote (~1000 miles]friend with several machines - some 
with WinXP, others with
       Windows 10 or later.

I have discovered on my WinXP machine that:
    1. WinXP _displays_ the correct time.
       "Date and Time Properties" - Time Zone set to
           (GMT-06:00)Central Time(US&Canada)
           Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes
    2. Debian 8.6 w MATE run from LIVE DVD _displays_ the correct 
time
    3. Debian 8.6 w MATE installed from DVD 1 of 13 with aid of 
custom preseed.cfg
       _displays_ a time 5 hours earlier.
       The _display_ is independent of whether
            d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
                        *OR*
            d-i clock-setup/utc boolean false
       is used in the preseed.cfg file.

I'm confused.
