I'm looking at this again, because handling /etc/timezone is one of the last large technical debt patches that we carry in Debian for src:systemd, and we want to drop it for Trixie. The idea is to add a tmpfiles.d entry in the systemd package that unconditionally deletes /etc/timezone if present. If someone wants to keep using it, they can simply override the tmpfiles.d entry with the usual mechanisms. So, could you please reconsider the proposal to stop creating it if it doesn't exist (but keep updating if it does) in the tzdata postinst as above for Trixie?
I'm a bit confused: If you forcefully want to delete /etc/timezone via a tmpfiles snippet, why let tzdata update an existing /etc/timezone?
