My dear and bubbly friend! As usual, you are right: The installer
should display our four timezones.

And actually... It's not four — It's five :-P I don't know whether to
file this as a new bug, or this one should suffice, but according to
our official information:

   http://www.cenam.mx/Hora_oficial/

First issue: The "BajaNorte" and "BajaSur" names are not
official. They should rather be:

   México/Noroeste
   México/Pacífico
   México/Centro
   México/Sureste

And second, Sonora State (shaded in the map) does not do summer
daylight savings, so it only makes sense to separate it from
México/Pacífico.

Note that, if chosen by city, it does exist as America/Hermosillo, and
its information is correct. But IIRC, the installer does show the four
timezone names (and not the bunch of localities).
