But it doesn't stay that way all the time when you upgrade timezones.
Happened to me yesterday.
I think this counts as a timezones bug.
Scenario:
unpack cron
unpack timezones - this deletes (!!) /etc/timezone
setup cron - cron is now at UTC
setup timezones - a correct /etc/timezone is recreated
This means that during a timezones upgrade, there is a window when the
system is running under UTC. During a mass upgrade, this window can be
fairly long.
