Just a very minor correction, the zoneinfo file is not copied,
it is symlinked, to /etc/localtime.
It probably depends on the distro, on Debian Etch it's a regular file, not a symlink.
I guess that the logic is that /usr might not be still available when the zoneinfo
is already required (e.g. when /usr is NFS-mounted).
