| The timezone is currently setup in chroot-script:timezone(), but

| The problem is that you end up with one set to Europe/Vienna and
| the other set to Etc/UTC.
|
| This can greatly confuse the system, due to some libraries/tools
| parsing the former, and other the latter.
|
| So that function should probably also update /etc/timezone, with
| the TIMEZONE value.

So write the $TIMEZONE setting to /etc/timezone.
