Dear Maintainer,
There is the problem with tzdata package preseeding in debian (debconfig)
template.
My preseed.cfg file contains these selections among others:
######################################
tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Kiev
######################################
I had create new container with this command:
sudo lxc-create -n debian -t debian --
--preseed-file=/home/denys/Work/lxc/preseed.cfg
But default time zone in the container was set to 'Etc/UTC'.
debconf-show tzdata
tzdata/Zones/Australia:
tzdata/Zones/US:
tzdata/Zones/Asia:
* tzdata/Zones/Etc: UTC
tzdata/Zones/SystemV:
tzdata/Zones/Africa:
tzdata/Zones/America:
tzdata/Zones/Arctic:
tzdata/Zones/Pacific:
* tzdata/Areas: Etc
tzdata/Zones/Antarctica:
tzdata/Zones/Atlantic:
* tzdata/Zones/Europe: Kiev
tzdata/Zones/Indian:
Previous selection was overriden.
I have found that dpkg-reconfigure actually prefers settings in '/etc/timezone'
over debconf answers.
Removing the file and reconfiguring tzdata package again fixes timezone
configuration.
This patch implements my solution:

# FIXME: All packages of priority of essential need to be reconfigured to
reflect choices from preseeding
if grep -qs tzdata "${_PRESEED_FILE}"
then
+Chroot "${_ROOTFS}" "rm -f /etc/timezone"
Chroot "${_ROOTFS}" "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBIAN_PRIORITY=criticial

fi
For now debian template considers tzdata preseeding.
