Title:
  Reduce the dependency on the geoclue-ubuntu-geoip packages to a
  recommends

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Geoip check is currently used to determine if your timezone has
  changed. It connects to canonical servers on every boot. There is
  currently no way to remove the geoclue-ubuntu-geoip package without
  also removing indicator-datetime. Please reduce the dependency on the
  geoclue-ubuntu-geoip package to a recommends so users that do not need
  timezone adjustment or privacy-aware people can un-install it.
