Pardon my outdated knowledge, but is this required in all cases? I am running multiple systems myself where I don't mount that file, and those seem to work as intended still.

I think this really speaks to the need for the tzdata package, the fact that I need to mount that additional file, but you don't, is exactly the problem that will solve. That's the power of containerization - eliminating "but it works on my machine" problem, with runtime standardization via an image.

Thanks! I guess I'll need a little more time to ponder #748, I hope that's ok.
