I like this better than my --force-remove-essential solution. I
don't think the timezone package from bo needs to be included in
regular hamm directory. That could lead to problems and confusion.
The package is only 179056 bytes, and could be included in the mirrors
and on the CD in the same location as the upgrade script and its
README.
