Debian 12 /etc/timezone inconsistent with current timezone

[websafe]

Hello,

I have installed Debian 12 using the Europe/Warsaw timezone and configured the host using ntp_timezone=US/Eastern.

And then I've noticed the following:

• /etc/localtime points to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern - OK, as expected,
• date returns EST - OK, as expected,
• /etc/timezone still contains Europe/Warsaw - inconsistent / unexpected.

Should I worry about this?

I have found #10 but this seems to be unsolved?

Interestingly, I'm also getting a CI idempotence failure on Debian 12 (and only Debian 12...):

Not sure if this is related, but on Debian Bookworm the ntp config file is now located at

/etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf and not /etc/ntp.conf

#130 may fix this — going to test again soon.

I believe this is fixed now. Please let me know if not, and we can take another look.
