Re: volatile.debian.org: Does Debian still support it?



It's not about one timezone. The new release refresh all available
timezones. The whole package was synced with the latest Olson
database.

It is simple analogy for tzdata package. You should also ask, why the
tzdata package has so many changes and why don't simply update only
one timezone?
