I think the Brazil/East rules for changing from/to DST are not
correct. I compiled the following rules using 'zic' from an
older distribution (timezone_7.48-3) since it seems that in
the current timezone package (timezone_7.55-2) this utility
is missing.
# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S
Rule Brazil 1996 max - Oct Sun>=5 0:00 1:00 S
Rule Brazil 1996 max - Feb Sun>=12 0:00 0 D
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Brazil/East -3:00 Brazil E%sT

Zone Brazil/DeNoronha -2:00 Brazil F%sT
