Bug#448796: libc6: provide compatibility script for tzconfig



Package: libc6
Version: 2.6.1-6
Severity: wishlist


tzconfig disappeared and the only reference seems to be the
following changelog entry:

,---- [ /usr/share/doc/libc6/changelog.Debian.gz ]
| glibc (2.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
| [...]
|   * debian/local/usr_sbin/tzconfig: removed.
|   * debian/local/manpages/tzconfig.8: removed.
|   * debian/sysdeps/depflags.pl: conflict with tzdata (<< 2007e-2). Older
|     versions need tzconfig.
`----

Maybe that should be mentioned in NEWS.Debian also and even better:
provide a wrapper script which does something like 'dpkg-reconfigure
tzdata' so people used to tzconfig have a smooth upgrade path.

regards,
