Oh, that's silly!
It's a laptop, darn it! The other users will (almost certainly) be on
the console, and they'll be in the same time zone your are in. (Unless
they have *very* long arms.)
What you are proposing is not the normal use case for a laptop -- you
seem to be thinking that I carry my laptop around so that people can ssh
into it. That's quite rare.

Timezone should not require superuser on laptop

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
When you carry a laptop from one timezone to another, it's nice to be able to
set the time correctly, even if you don't have administrative rights on the
laptop.
