What I'm unclear about is if /etc/localtime needs to be set at all or if the zoneinfo files are only used by asterisk's voicemail section and read directly from /usr/share/zoneinfo. If /etc/localtime is not used, the symbolic link should be removed. If it IS used by asterisk (/etc/localtime) then we would need the second variable.
