At the end of ch.6.9.2 after this passage:
" ..Then create the /etc/localtime file by running:
cp -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/<xxx> /etc/localtime
Replace <xxx> with the name of the time zone selected (e.g., Canada/Eastern). "

add something like:
"If you don't plan to have a separate /usr partition, you can create a
symbolic link instead:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/<xxx> /etc/localtime
This would help your applications to track back original zone location
information with readlink (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles”)."
