It's most probably only a matter of historical reasons, to have this timezone
in the installer.
Don't know what was the reason for it to be added.
It will have only a benefit for some few people, but may add irritations for
many people installing in German UI (I did not knew Büsingen as well when
I saw it the first time. Had to ask Wikipedia for help. Did not saw such
selection for Germany before somewhere else.)
Cheers
