Description
ltime reports the server timezone as UTC regardless of what is set as the TZ environment variable in the container.
Adding the tzdata package to the image appears to resolve this issue.
Edit: This happens only in the Alpine variants. The Debian images have always included tzdata in the base image and are thus unaffected.

Research direction
Start with the Alpine image definitions in the docker-library/haproxy repository and compare them with the Debian variants, which include tzdata. Check the ltime behavior with TZ set in an Alpine container; done means the converter reports the configured container timezone rather than UTC.
