Um, alternatively you could just copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/foo to /etc/localtime rather than having a symlink. Since the zoneinfo file has the name of the timezone in it already, it is probably not necessary to preserve the filename of the timezone file.

I think the easiest approach then would be to have an /etc/timezone directory that should have a single file in it with the current timezone. This file could be copied from /usr and keep the original name. example: /etc/timezone/MST7MDT Pretty easy to understand and deal with.
