Right. I forgot to mention a middle ground: passing time/zone=Etc/UTC on the kernel command line (instead of starting expert install) should give you the desired results without going through all those extra steps. (That is, stuff you would stash in a preseed file/URL can also be passed on the kernel command line. Reading your mails, I'm not sure this is known / has been considered already.)
