This is on a laptop. I point to the common /usr/local/etc/localtime
from stable, testing and unstable partitions so I can change
timezones from one and keep all three up-to-date. On upgrade, when
necessary, I save /etc/localtime in /tmp and re-define the symlink.
Here /tmp/localtime (/etc/localtime from the Apr 14 2007e-3 upgrade)
is identical to zoneinfo/US/Pacific. Pacific was replaced during
the attempted Apr 30 e-6 upgrade, but /etc/localtime was not.

Upgrades continue to fail, since aptitude first tries to configure
tzdata and dies.
