Package: util-linux Version: 2.12p-4sarge1 Followup-For: Bug #342887 Hi,
is /etc/localtime a symlink to save space on the rootfs or to easily see what timezone the system is running? If the latter, and /usr is a mountpoint, why not (with some debconf stuff; asking user if he/she wants to, if UTC=no) mount --bind / /tmp/rootfs and install a symlink [/tmp/rootfs]/usr/share/zoneinfo pointing to e. g. /etc/util-linux/zoneinfo where the zoneinfo file can be copied to on updates? (On Sarge, i386 the biggest zoneinfo file right/Asia/Riyadh87 has 3840 bytes; plus the space needed for up to 3 subdirs, e. g. posix/America/Argentina/.) Maybe the libc6, initscripts and util-linux maintainers have to work together for keeping things in sync then. (Changing local timezone?)
