MAAS sets the default timezone for provisioned nodes to:

$ cat /etc/timezone
America/New_York

This is probably because of:

d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8

...in /usr/share/maas/preseeds/preseed_master. It would be a far better idea to set this to UTC, adding:

d-i time/zone string Etc/UTC

...to this preseed file.

Version affected: 12.04 LTS / maas / precise-updates / 1.2+bzr1373+dfsg-0ubuntu1~12.04.1.

How reproducible is the problem? / Steps to Reproduce:

 * Install MAAS
 * Deploy some nodes with MAAS.
