I looked into this issue and could only spot /etc/timezone
references in the init scripts. This is why I think this
does not deserve RC severity:

* cups-daemon seems to already be shipping native systemd unit files, so
  init scripts should be unused (masked) on default installations.
* The init script only conditionally uses /etc/timezone
  based on it existing (and TZ env being unset).
  If the file does not exist, TZ will remain unset with unknown
  consequenses, but the service files doesn't seem to do anything to set
  TZ so I assume if it's important that TZ is set it would be in service
  files as well.

I'm thus downgrading this to minor for now. If someone knows better,
please feel free to adjust and enlighten the bug report about your
knowledge in this area. I'm just a random person poking at this
bug report while doing drive-by RC bug squashing.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
