Dear Maintainer,

When using the non-expert text installer from a netinst cd of debian bookworm 12.1, only the timezones in the attached picture are displayed for selection.

Please make it possible to select UTC as the timezone, for any language/locale/region the user may have selected in previous steps of the installation.

UTC is available for selection in the expert text installer.

Thank you.

Hi,

mode back in 2009 (see #442856).

The arguments did not change since then, mainly:
- UTC will most likely be a corner case, an option for experts, not for the
  majority of users.
- Adding UTC for all countries in the default install, would add one more
  question to be shown in all (!) installations for those countries, which
  only have one timezone.

Asking one more question to all people, just to make a rare used option
available to some experts don't seems like a good option to me.

So I'm marking this bug as wontfix.
