The afterboot(8) manual says to use "ln -fs", e.g. ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic /etc/localtime
That way, the /etc/localtime will never not be there (it will not be there for a short time between 'rm' and 'ln -s' if you do it that way). This is easily set up in a script that you may run using sudo...
