Bug#171017: libc6: man page doesn't say where to find timezones



Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/zdump

1. One would have no idea that one should try filenames:
$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Taipei
from reading the zdump man page.  So tell where to find valid timezone
names on that man page please.

2. If one does
$ zdump BoGuS && echo Oh Wonderful, no errors here
BoGuS  Thu Nov 28 00:56:58 2002 BoGuS
Oh Wonderful, no errors here

it acts just like all is well.  At least note why on the man page.
