This has been asked for numerous times and it has always been answered
that selecting the location ("country") is precisely the key to get
the timezone one wants the machine to be setup for. There is no plan
to change this, indeed.
If you want to get American English as keyboard layout but do *not*
want US timezones, then do no pick USA as country. The one is not
related to the other.
The keymap question *has* an "other" option, this is the way you
should go : pick the language you want, pick the country where the
machine is and then pick the keymap you really want to use.
