Well I have just seen that tzdata already do that, so it's just a matter 
of replacing ln -sf by cp -f in the postinst of tzdata.

However, that does not fix #345907. Does anybody has an idea how to fix 
that? I think it is a good idea to let the user update it's timezone 
manually, given the way we handle timezone in the stable release (though 
it should now be easy with the tzdata package).
