Dear Maintainer,
The preseed example in the installation guide uses the old format of US time
zone which no longer works. It would be nice to have a working value there in
the example.
I haven't done preseed for a while but now am going to set up some VMs, so I
downloaded the example-preseed.txt file for trixie, modified & tested (with
latest trixie netinst iso). Time zone setting didn't apply (used US/Central -
also tried US/Eastern, which is exactly what is in the example). Looked in
/usr/share/zoneinfo and saw the links for the old US/ format are no longer
there. Changed my file to America/Chicago and it the setting applied
successfully.
It would be nice if the example were updated to America/New_York or some other
working value.
