I'm not sure about Ubuntu, at least in Debian tzselect doesn't change time zone permanently. For this purpose "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" should be used. Yigal

Copying/linking the desired zone file to /etc/localtime will make it change for the timebeing, but you also need to make sure that /etc/timezone contains the correct timezone specification otherwise your timezone will change when you upgrade. tzselect takes care of all this.
