Not needed indeed.  The previous setting caused confusion because 
changing it didn't actually change the timezone (this isn't the place for 
the technical details).

Now, the clock config file simply sets local or UTC, while the timezone 
is set using the standard glibc /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/
<whatever-zone> symlink or the TZ environmental variable (see the tzset 
and hwclock manpages among others).
