Nit: if it's a bug (and as the author I don't believe it is), it's a
bug in tzsetup(8).  Perhaps the wording could be a bit clearer. I'm a
bit at a loss as to how.  (Probably some wording needs to be added as
an introductory screen explaining both this issue and the multiplicity
of time zones for places which currently have only one.)
