Package: locales
Version: 2.3.5-11
Severity: normal

The timezone information for Brazil is out-of-date, so I manually update with:

wget http://avi.alkalay.net/software/zoneinfo/Brazil.txt
sudo zic Brazil.txt

Whenever package locales is upgraded, this timezone information is overwritten 
and I have to repeat the process. This has just happened again for 2.3.5-10 -> 
2.3.5-11.

It would be good: either to update the timezone info for Brazil or, if that's 
not possible, to ask berfore overwriting manually updated timezone info, as it 
happens with configuration files.
