The use of "ln -s" will work just fine as written. I don't know why
tzsetup makes a copy of the zoneinfo file rather than setting up a
symlink, but making a copy simply allows the file in /etc to become
out-of-sync if one updates the files under /usr/share{/lib}/zoneinfo
without re-running tzsetup again.
