localtime is also the result is there on all of my debians.  But every
other one defaults to utc.

But:

That command says sourcefile is /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.conf,
which is what I grep(1)ed.

What does source from 'select * from pg_settings where name = 'TimeZone';' show?


As it turned out, writing that reminded me that I hadn't run pg_upgradecluster
on that box.  So I did so.  And the 9.4/main cluster defaults to UTC as I
prefer.

The only difference between the results of that pg_settings select
bewteen the two clusters is 9.3 vs 9.4 in the name of the sourcefile.

I restarted the 9.3 cluster to try that select, and it still prefers -04.

Diff(1)ing the /etc/postgresql/9.[34] directories doesn't show any
relevant differences.  Just directory names and the port number.

I'll leave the old cluster stopped but around for a while in case there
are any other queries which might explain the differences.
