Yes, I also did that and it was also working until the recent update I
mentioned.  Now, I can symlink /etc/localtime to the correct timezone and it
will only stay set until the next time tzdata is updated.  tzdata ignores what
is in the /etc/localtime symlink and resets it to point to
"America/Indiana/Indianapolis."

So it is reading that information ("America/Indiana/Indianapolis") from
somewhere that is not /etc/localtime and is also not /etc/timezone.  I would
like to figure out where from so I can squash it.
