There are several bugs:
(1) /etc/wall_cmos_clock isn't removed when the state is switched
to CMOS_UTC.
(2) if /etc/wall_cmos_clock exists, or if there is already a timezone
file installed, then tzsetup never asks you for the time so you
can't set the time or switch the state to or from CMOS_UTC :-).
tzsetup should have a separate option to switch the state. sysinstall
could handle the problem by (optionally?) removing /etc/localtime and
/etc/wall_cmos_clock.
