If you want to be absolutely sure then you can verify the dates for the
DST-related changes yourself:

$ zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 25 00:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 25 01:59:59 2007 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 25 01:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 25 03:00:00 2007 CEST isdst=1 gmtoff=7200
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 28 00:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 02:59:59 2007 CEST isdst=1 gmtoff=7200
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 02:00:00 2007 CET isdst=0 gmtoff=3600

This is for timezone Europe/Madrid. I am on Sid, but I would expect that
zdump works like that on Sarge as well.
