So, to summarize my understanding what should happen (sorry, I'm still
quite new to that touch layout, so I rather make sure):
* livecd-rootfs creates /etc/writable/ (use a generic name as we might need it
for other cases, and please no dotfiles)
* livecd-rootfs moves /etc/localtime to /etc/writable/localtime and adds a
corresponding symlink
* lxc-android-config declares /etc/writable as writable -> this would create
a mount point, and hide the original contents of /etc/writable/ as created by
livecd-rootfs; how does the mounted file system get /etc/writable/zoneinfo? Is
that done magically by the "transition" flag in
/etc/system-image/writable-paths?
* timedated and tzdata's postinst check if /etc/localtime point to
/etc/writable (i. e. not to /usr/share/zoneinfo) and do its operation on the
symlink target instead as a fallback.
