Hello,

Bug #1030850 in tzsetup reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tzsetup/-/commit/4324ebb2e3ba6527426ad3fa6686b8772feb9e79

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stop creating /etc/timezone

/etc/localtime got turned into a symlink in 2016a-1 (see bug #803144),
now that /usr gets mounted from the initrd.

This now leaves /etc/timezone completely redundant, as you should get
exactly the same answer by readlink /etc/localtime -- and if you do
not get the same answer, you have an inconsistency. /etc/localtime
obviously "wins" for the actual clock (as that's what programs are
reading), but you presumably get the /etc/timezone value in some
"system configuration tool" packages which read /etc/timezone first.
As /etc/timezone is a Debianism and /etc/localtime the distro-agnostic
standard, tzdata 2022g-3 stopped creating /etc/timezone, but kept
updating /etc/timezone if present.

So also stop creating `/etc/timezone` on new installations.

Closes: #1030850
