Are you sure that is the case? I actually looked into this before I
did it and I read the opposite. If /usr and /etc are on different
partitions and /usr fails to mount, /etc/localtime will fail, but not
if zic installs it. When zic installs it, it makes a copy to
/etc/localtime rather than a link, so I don't see how or why it should
fail. Based on what I read zic is more robust than straight linking. I
don't have a separate /usr partition though so I couldn't do much
testing.
