[Bug] Better LOCALE support needed for non-US sales of Zimaboard

[iandstanley]

Describe the bug

The Zimaboard comes with a particular configuration installed

However, when you purchase the Zimaboard outside of the USA you end up with a broken installation that won't update Debian underneath.

If you try to update the installed Debian you find that both the certificates are out of date and expired and the operating system is significantly out of date

There is no way of updating the device via the gui

If you log in via ssh or command line you find that apt is broken as both the certificates are out of date AND debian is trying to use http (deprecated)

To fix this you need to do the following:

1. change the debian repos to point to the repos using https not http (deprecated)
2. change your timezone to something appropriate [NOT POSSIBLE VIA THE UI SO IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME USERS]
   e.g. sudo timedatectl set-timezone Europe/London
3. sudo apt update
4. sudo apt upgrade

To Reproduce

Try updating via the command line with apt update && apt upgrade

Expected behavior

sudo apt update should pull down updated metadata re the underlying OS (Debian)
sudo apt upgrade should install the latest packages
Desktop (please complete the following information):

 - OS: [e.g. iOS]
 - Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]
 - Version [e.g. 22]

System Time
System time was set to EDT

If you are a Zimaboard user, make it explicit with when you got your Zimaboard.
