I guess this is all bound up with the "/usr on a separate partition"
thing.  If your position is that the root filesystem is meant to work
without /usr mounted then having /etc/localtime be a symlink
into /usr/share is probably not going to fly.  Conversely, one were to
take the view that any reasonable system in the 21st century is going to
have / anḍ /usr on the same device, making it be a symlink would be a
fine idea.

I think probably the right answer is to make "1970s-usr" be a
DISTRO_FEATURE and then the timezone recipes (and others) can adapt
themselves accordingly.
