Title:
Change of
According to the upstream package maintainer in Debian (Aurelien Jarno),
/etc/localtime is the authoritive source of information, while
/etc/timezone is just a Debian-specific artifact.
Thus the preferred approach for changing the timzone is indeed the
change of the /etc/localtime symlink,
FWIW, at least for a phusion Docker image which is based on Ubuntu
16.04, this workaround seems to work. As with most things in life
related to computer administration there may be a wrinkle to this that I
have not yet found.
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto /etc/localtime && printf

A simpler workaround that was OK for me:
rm /etc/localtime
dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
After /etc/localtime is removed, it is regenerated properly.

Michael's workaround works for me, but I'm waiting for fix release.

Title:
Change of behavior: "dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive"
Looks like for the time being this is the best:
# change this based on desired locale
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific-New /etc/localtime
dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
ignore /etc/timezone, that seems to be properly reflected after the
dpkg-reconfigure...

Any workaround for this? - How would one automate setting a timezone on
16.04?
