It would not be ridiculous to run a wrapper program out of, e.g.
cron.hourly, which used an explicitly set TZ as a cue to run
another job.

Interestingly, Red Hat and Ubuntu use cronie instead of Vixie's
cron, and cronie supports a per-crontab CRON_TZ variable. cronie
is not in Debian, but it could very likely be packaged easily.
