definitive answer: it's already there..... part of the debconf package.... somehow the path misses it.
try: sudo /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure tzdata works like a charm. seems reboot, shutdown, halt, and poweroff are there as well (found in sbin) but the path again misses those as well. yea, no need for systemd (though I'm certainly not opposed to it for consistency sake with the larger demo image that gets posted. thus far Ive installed 3 packages I use often, "less, screen, configure-debian & bash-completion", but no big deal that they are not there though I'd love to see them included. All in all great job on a small extremely usable debian image! It's what ought be offered as standard as it's so much easier to add what you want and need then to remove what you don't. just a couple tweaks as mentioned and it's ideal. Thanks Robert!
