Comment # 1 on bug 1090913 from Richard Brown

YaST Team, I need your help with this one - I've tried to figure it out for
myself, but I'm at a loss

The problem in a nutshell

We want Kubic to be using UTC by default unless the user customises it
explicitly

If we use the regular control.xml parameter "timezone_readonly", then the user
cannot customise their timezone.

If we disable that parameter, then Kubic immediately inherits it's timezone
from the selected locale

Meaning the default timezone becomes US/Eastern because the default language is
English US

Is there any way of disabling the automatic selection of timezone based on
language choice?
