Can you be more specific?  What goes wrong if TZ is not set?  I
haven't seen any POSIX or Linux documentation that says it should be
set, and I've just checked on two different Linux distros that it's
not set by default.

The scripts in base-files were introduced in 2012 after an explicit
request by Corinna:

Whether any or all of this is still relevant needs to be checked before
we turn around and change the default again.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the history. Let's wait until Corinna has a chance to chime in.
