Package: tzdata
Version: 2016a-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

After tzdata 2016a-1, automated tzdata configuration with

  echo "Asia/Tokyo" > /etc/timezone
  dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive tzdata

does not work.

With tzdata 2015g-1, it works.

  root@a26eeeb7b8b7:~# echo Asia/Tokyo > /etc/timezone
  root@a26eeeb7b8b7:~# dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive tzdata

  Current default time zone: 'Asia/Tokyo'
  Local time is now:      Sun Jan 31 00:29:12 JST 2016.
  Universal Time is now:  Sat Jan 30 15:29:12 UTC 2016.

But with tzdata 2016a-1, it does not work well.

  root@fdc1139936e4:~# echo Asia/Tokyo > /etc/timezone
  root@fdc1139936e4:~# dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive tzdata

  Current default time zone: 'Etc/UTC'
  Local time is now:      Sat Jan 30 15:30:21 UTC 2016.
  Universal Time is now:  Sat Jan 30 15:30:21 UTC 2016.

I have found a workaround, deleting /etc/localtime
before running dpkg-reconfigure solves this problem.

  root@fdc1139936e4:~# date
  Sat Jan 30 15:30:50 UTC 2016
  root@fdc1139936e4:~# echo Asia/Tokyo > /etc/timezone
  root@fdc1139936e4:~# rm /etc/localtime
  root@fdc1139936e4:~# dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive tzdata

  Current default time zone: 'Asia/Tokyo'
  Local time is now:      Sun Jan 31 00:31:15 JST 2016.
  Universal Time is now:  Sat Jan 30 15:31:15 UTC 2016.

Is this bug of tzdata config script? Or expected behavior?
