When it's told to, essentially.

There's a small dbus-activated service that runs; you call SetTimezone()
on it with the timezone you want. Similarly for NTP, locale, hostname, etc.

This should be pretty easy to frob in the running install environment; less
easy to do in the install root, as the service wouldn't be running there.

Is this currently done:
1) only in the install env (and then copied to the install root)
2) only in the install root
3) in both the install env and the install root separately
