So from what I read here, this does not affect fresh installs, but only
upgrades, right? I. e. it is not a bug in the installer (ubiquity).
tzdata's maintainer scripts never remove /etc/timezone, just update it,
so this isn't a tzdata bug either.
So can you confirm that
1) in natty (11.04) you did have a valid /etc/timezone, and the clock
indicator worked fine
2) immediately after upgrading /etc/timezone went away
Did you do anything else except the upgrade? E. g. it's plausible that
one of the GUI configuration tools (GNOME control-center, or the old
gnome-system-tools) which offers time configuration removed the file.
