I also wanted to make similar changes for another reason: currently
locale-gen is shipped in the locales package, it calls localedef
from libc6 and needs data files from locales.
It is IMO better to have localedef and locale-gen in the same package,
as in belocs-locales-bin. This means that another package will surely
be needed.

Maybe a safer alternative is to upload 2.3.6-5 without splitting tzdata,
and wotk on remaining issues as soon as possible.
