I agree.

 Robert, we do need to know at least whether this was an upgrade, and if
 so from which release, so that we can at least have some basic idea of
 where to start investigating.

I installed this machine somewhat haphazardly, it was having boot
problems from the amd64 cd's. I am *fairly* sure it was feisty liveCD
that I finally got it up and running from. I'm running a crypted
environment, which ubiquity doesn't natively support, so I partitioned
manually and installed onto that. I think.

 At least in Dennis' case, we're pretty confident that the installer did
 create /etc/timezone, but something seems to have removed it later. This
 could e.g. be a broken maintainer script on upgrade, or it could be a
 desktop configuration utility, or something else. We need your help to
 limit the scope of this somewhat.

Sure. Are there any log files that might record this information?
