Bug Description

Binary package hint: tzdata

When upgrading tzdata from 2007b-0ubuntu1 to 2007e-3ubuntu1, I was asked two questions via debconf at priority 'high'. My time zone was already configured correctly, and there was no need to ask these questions.

Matthias, you did this merge. It looks like debian/config needs to preseed the relevant debconf questions if the timezone is already set.

We may need to look at how this interacts with tzsetup in the installer too, but that can wait until we have more of the Gutsy installer put together; by that point with any luck Debian will have done it for us. :-)

Discussed shortly with Matthias, I take this bug and make sure it'll also get fixed in Debian.
