ben@lithium:~$ locate UTC
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC
I think all you need to do is:
# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC /etc/localtime
You may also need to restart any programs (e.g. daemons) which were
started before the change, if you want them to use the new timezone
(maybe they do automatically, I'm not too sure).
