They should rather be:
Actually, tzsetup (the d-i component) relies on the TZ names in tzdata for the real choices (those that are stored in debconf) and uses the Choices-C trick to allow "translating" them in English: Template: tzsetup/country/MX Type: select Choices-C: Mexico/General, Mexico/BajaSur, Mexico/BajaNorte # :sl3: __Choices: Central, Mountain, Pacific Default: Mexico/General Description: zone That's consistent with tzdata: cperrier@mykerinos:~/src/debian/debian-installer/trunk/packages/tzsetup/debian(master) $ dpkg -L tzdata|grep Mexi /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/BajaSur /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/General /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/BajaNorte So users of English language will see: - Central - Mountain - Pacific As choices, if they pick "English" then "Mexico" in the installer. Users of Spanish will see: - Central - Montañas - Pacifico I think that "Central" and "Pacific" should be left as is and maybe BajaNorte be given "North-West" instead of Moutain and the new "Sureste" (or whatever it is finally called in tzdata) be given "South-East" (I'd suggest this preferrably to "Quintana Roo" in case other adjacent states of Yucatan peninsula also change their TZ, whichou would indeed make sense. I wonder if the Quintana Roo change has been made so that the gazillion of US tourists from US East Coast don't even have to change their watches when they invade Cancun.....:-)
