Relevant lines of preseed.cfg are
### Clock and time zone setup
#d-i clock-setup/utc boolean false
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i time/zone string US/Central
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean false
To me this looks reasonable. At least the installer should have enough
info to get by.
Note that I'm not very fluent on the details, so I might be missing
something.
Here are the relevant pages [1] [2].
[1] & [2] bother me a little as they are labeled "(Obsolete
Documentation)"
They should imply possible search terms for additional research.
My current motto - "If retirement isn't for learning, what use is
it?" ;/
[3] also looks applicable. Will read all 3 after good night's sleep.
Got a couple of other problems I should address today ;/
In a nutshell, it *should* work. But you lose the automatic DST change --
the OS expects then the HW clock to be "right" wrt local time.
But -- who knows? Perhaps the hwclock is read *before* the d-i settings
can be accounted for; perhaps the time will be right after installation
*and* reboot?
