  7. tzdata: Make installation POSIX conformant 

    From the Linux From Scratch book [1]:

> This creates the posixrules file. We use New York because POSIX
> requires the daylight savings time rules to be in accordance with US
> rules.

  8. tzdata: Make /etc/localtime a symbolic link 

    systemd-timedated wants this to be a symbolic link, cf. man 5 localtime.

> The /etc/localtime file configures the system-wide timezone of the
> local system that is used by applications for presentation to the
> user. It should be an absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
> /usr/share/zoneinfo/, followed by a timezone identifier such as
> "Europe/Berlin" or "Etc/UTC". The resulting link should lead to the
> corresponding binary tzfile(5) timezone data for the configured
> timezone.
>
> Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the symlink target
> name of /etc/localtime, this file may not be a normal file or
> hardlink.
