I check current translations, just in case, but several of them use transliterated text, for instance: ru.po:msgid "East Indiana" ru.po-msgstr "Восточная Индиана" So these translators also might want to transliterate the city names in the new "time zones"....and we just can't put msgid's in msgstr's At the minimum, if we add new timezones, we could grab translations back from tzdata (there are quite a lot of translations in that package). Definitely something for post-lenny, indeed...sorry for the few counties in USA that decide to live differently from the rest of the country. Actually, there might me other cases like this one as I haven't seen anyone actively trying to cope with changes in tzdata to align tzsetup with them (such as the recent nightmare in Argentinian timezones).
