Actually, your time zone hasn't changed (so no need to run tzconfig),
but cron and syslog have been restarted (after upgrading) thinking they are in
a different time zone. (It's a known problem on debian-devel with cron,
although I don't remember syslogd being mentioned).
To fix it, just restart those daemons. As root, run
/etc/init.d/cron restart
/etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
