Bug Description
On installing the server version of 16.04 you get asked to provide language and then a region for localisation. The text in the installer indicates that this will be used to help determine which timezone you want to use for the machine. If you put in English (US) and select United States for location, when you eventually get to the "set the time zone" prompt, the only option you get is to choose a US region. There is no possibility to select the UTC timezone.
I've tried using "C - No Localization" as the language, but that doesn't really change things in this regards. I think I've tried just about every way through that dialogue that I can find but am failing to find UTC. Given the purpose of UTC, and just how common it is to run infrastructure using UTC as the time zone, it seems a little odd for it not to be a choice on all the dialogues for choosing timezones.
