The variable name as used in fai/config/scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc is 
"TIMEZONE", not "time_zone".

Furthermore, I had to fix the localtime in the nfsroot (to fix rsync 
problems with a hook I use during install):

 cd /srv/fai/nfsroot/etc/
 rm localtime
 ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam localtime
