why not always make it a symlink, so updates to tzdata package are applied immediatly and don't require a reboot? Is it for scenario's where /usr is not available?
Yes. We have sort of given up on supporting booting with an unavailable /usr, but we don't want to break people's setups unnecessarily, so we'll keep the backwards compatibility for the time being. Cheers, Tom
