When installed within the `ubuntu` Docker container, `tzdata` sets `etc/timezone` to `/UTC`, not `UTC`, which breaks applications that are reading `etc/timezone` and expecting a valid timezone name.
I'm guess that this wasn't noticed, since technically `/usr/share/zoneinfo//UTC` (double slash) still works.
Here is a Dockerfile that reproduces the issue:
```dockerfile
FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y tzdata
```
Here is the output of `docker build`:
```
test (master)$ docker build --no-cache -t tztest .
