In version 2026.02.04-1 I have added a script and udev rule to set the
country code. However, they require manual configuration because I
don't think it's correct to infer the regulatory domain from time zone:
- The system time zone doesn't necessarily reflect its actual location
- Time zones can cross country boundaries
- Even where this works, there was no provision for handling changes of
time zone
I documented how to configure this in README.Debian, as well as the
limited usefulness of doing so.
Can I close this bug report?
Ben.
