Bug Description
I upgraded from warty to hoary and it reset my timezone to Europe/London from
Europe/Madrid which I had set it to using the gnome time/date changing thingy
This is bad because it stomped on a user setting

Did you investigate how this might have happened? What was in /etc/timezone,
and where did /etc/localtime point? Were they consistent? And now? Try using
the GNOME tool again, and see if it does the right thing. It seems more likely
that that tool did the wrong thing, than that libc6 clobbered your choice
