Aurelien Jarno traced this problem to tzdata asking a non-debconf question 
on upgrade. This happens because the package installed during base 
installation (from CD) is upgraded during pkgsel/tasksel (from the 
mirrors).

Note that a change has been committed in D-I component tzsetup (1:0.11) 
that may prevent this is the future: we now configure the timezone 
immediately after base installation instead of at the end of the 
installation.

This means it is probably only a temporary problem that will affect some 
Beta3-based installations (though the most used ones) until the release 
of D-I RC1.
