I have tried to reproduce this, but cannot. I selected English as language 
and Finland as country and the timezone selection correctly selected 
Europe/Helsinki.

It may be that this works a bit differently on arm/NSLU2 though. If we 
want to fix this we need some debugging info from you.

Could you rerun the installation? You should be able to do so without 
deleting your current installation by following the following procedure:
- boot the installer
- proceed with installation until you get to partitioning
- use <go back> to back out to the menu on the first partitioning screen
- select the option "change debconf priority" and select "low"
- select the option "save debug logs" and choose the webserver
  (note the IP address)
- start a shell and add a line 'set -x' in /usr/sbin/tzsetup
- run the option "configure time zone"

If you can reproduce the error, return to the menu and use a webbrowser 
from a different machine to retrieve the syslog file. Please send that to 
this bug report (gzipped!).

Cheers,
FJP
