   In version 2026.02.04-1 I have added a script and udev rule to set the   
   country code.  However, they require manual configuration because I   
   don't think it's correct to infer the regulatory domain from time zone:   
      
   - The system time zone doesn't necessarily reflect its actual location   
   - Time zones can cross country boundaries   
   - Even where this works, there was no provision for handling changes of   
   time zone   
      
   I documented how to configure this in README.Debian, as well as the   
   limited usefulness of doing so.   
      
   Can I close this bug report?   
      
   Ben.
