set_timezone function currently respect user choice of symlink to timezone file
or copy it. man page doesn't explain this subtlety which let think that
TIMEZONE parameter in rc.conf doesn't ensure anything.

 *TIMEZONE=*
 
 Specifies the timezone. The setting takes effect on boot by ensuring that /etc/localtime is a symlink
-to the correct zoneinfo file. Possible timezones are the relative path to a zoneinfo file starting
+to, or a copy of, the correct zoneinfo file. Possible timezones are the relative path to a zoneinfo file starting
 from the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo. For example, a German timezone would be Europe/Berlin,
 which refers to the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin.
