Note that Debian-based systems actually do copy the file rather than symlink - main reason being that if you use a symlink and your /usr is mounted on a separate partition, anything that starts before /usr gets mounted will not have the correct timezone.

> In the past, this would for some reason only work sporadically and make ktimezoned utterly confused; now it correctly sets a symlink (instead of copying the file over) from /etc/localtime to the respective file under /usr/share/zoneinfo (as described in "man tzset"). The symlink points to the right location after each save. Launching the module again, it shows the correct timezone, as previously saved.
