Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor

Let's say you are asking the user what time zone he is in for some country:

Eastern Time Zone
Plains Time Zone
Mountain Time Zone
Other

Well I recall in expert mode installation, UTC is also always present:

Eastern Time Zone
Plains Time Zone
Mountain Time Zone
UTC
Other

Please also make it always present in non-expert mode too.

Some people would just like to give a neutral choice, and save the real
configuration for later after actual booting success.
