lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 14 18:22 /etc/localtime -> /usr/local/etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 May  1  2006 /usr/local/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1017 Apr 25 10:35 /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1017 Apr 14 18:21 /tmp/localtime

This is on a laptop.  I point to the common /usr/local/etc/localtime
from stable, testing and unstable partitions so I can change
timezones from one and keep all three up-to-date.  On upgrade, when
necessary, I save /etc/localtime in /tmp and re-define the symlink.

Here /tmp/localtime (/etc/localtime from the Apr 14 2007e-3 upgrade)
is identical to zoneinfo/US/Pacific.  Pacific was replaced during
the attempted Apr 30 e-6 upgrade, but /etc/localtime was not.

America/Los_Angeles

Upgrades continue to fail, since aptitude first tries to configure
tzdata and dies.
