The afterboot(8) manual says to use "ln -fs", e.g.

ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic /etc/localtime

That way, the /etc/localtime will never not be there (it will not be
there for a short time between 'rm' and 'ln -s' if you do it that
way).

This is easily set up in a script that you may run using sudo...

Regards,
Andreas
