Well, maybe you're right. Büsingen is a tiny German exclave (1500
inhabitants) which seems to follows Zurich time:

At the moment (and for the forseeable future) Zurich time is the same
as Berlin time, so it seems questionable whether it is worthwhile to
bother German users with that corner case.

Büsingen seems to have been added recently. It only shows up in
jessie. (I've just tested that the 7.2 installer doesn't prompt German
users.)
