By the way, the -L flag in timesync is a real hack. There's no way
to know when your 'other OS' decides to apply daylight savings time
(now there's an even bigger hack) so you have to run the other OS
often enough to make sure it gets done.

It's your call. If you have an ntp server it
doesn't matter what it is set to -- timesync
will ignore it. If you don't, then the default
setup assumes GMT, but timesync -L exists
solely to coexist with operating systems
that insist on local time.
