Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
Now that Java is happy with our /etc/localtime, there is no reason to
set $TZ anymore. (See 945849b86f, 279248f6c5, 1b5e860f65607b4cc7de4b6b5db95460cf144526.)
Fixes#1463.
Some programs (notably the Java Runtime Environment) expect to be able
to extract the name of the time zone from the target of the
/etc/localtime symlink. That doesn't work if /etc/localtime is a
symlink to /etc/static/localtime. So make it a direct symlink.
