about setting the timezone in debian-reference

[Baurjan Ismagulov <ibr@radix50.net>]

Hello,

I couldn't find any information about setting the timezone in
debian-reference. What about adding section 16 (or at least 16.1) from
Debian System Administrator's Manual to debian-reference? Having
multiple documents for the same purpose is very time-consuming for the
users.

Besides, does any tool use /etc/timezone, or is it just informational?
date(1) uses /etc/localtime, and I spent an hour to figure out that
these files were inconsistent.

Please CC to me, I'm not subscribed.

Thanks in advance,
Baurjan.
