These files and settings are unused for long times now and can be safely
deleted.

To be sure; did some test installs in all three variants (GUI, TUI and
auto) and did not notice anything off.

Christoph Heiss (3):
  checktime: drop unused script
  install: drop unused pve-manager/country debconf setting
  interfaces: drop unused file

This has been unused since

  5490bc6 ("remove call to /usr/bin/checktime")

which removed the last callsite of this script in 2012.

This is effectively dead code since pve-manager commit

  4bfc63047 ("buildsys: remove unused debconf template")

which removed the respective debconf template back in 2018.

This file isn't used anywhere, drop it.

For this one, I couldn't find a reference when/why this was introduced
or left unused, as both seem to predate the git history.
