It's months since I've installed squeeze so I can't say for sure. Does
this happen with the expert installer? :-?
Binding a timezone to a location seems quite logic, but binding -
enforcing- a locale to specific timezone (or viceversa) seems to be
completely wrong, IMO. If it's reproducible with the latest installer I
think it's worth reporting.
