In hooks/common/60-copy-host-files /etc/localtime is copied without
taking into account that this is a symlink on the dom0 and the newly
created domU.
As the link in ${prefix}/etc/localtime at this point links to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC the file on dom0 will be overwritten with
/etc/localtime.
A simple fix is to use 'cp -d' to copy /etc/localtime as a symlink.
The attached patch does this and was also suggested upstream in
https://github.com/xen-tools/xen-tools/pull/75
Best,
Valentin
