Timestamps are stored in absolute time (UTC), so as long as that time
does not jump backwards (because of ntp or the user updating the clock)
timestamps are never in the future. When you change the timezones only
the way that timestamps are displayed is changed (*).
The problem is that the installer has no idea if the system time is in
UTC or in the local timezone (let alone just wrong).
