Package: tzdata
Version: 2007b-1
Severity: normal

The New Zealand Government has altered the dates when Daylight Time
will start and end starting this year.  Daylight Time will begin one
week earlier (on the last Sunday in September, instead of the first
Sunday in October), and finish two weeks later:

http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Daylight-Saving-Daylight-saving-to-be-extended?OpenDocument

The tzdata package in testing and unstable (2007f-9) includes this
change, and the timezone is correctly reported in those versions (as
seen in, eg, "tzdump -v Pacific/Auckland").

However the tzdata package in stable (etch) -- 2007b-1 -- is now out of
date for New Zealand ("Pacific/Auckland") and still shows the Daylight
Time transition following the old rules.

I see an update was issued last year to pick up USA and Australian
daylight time changes
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410146).

Is an update for stable (etch) planned to pick up the New Zealand time
zone change, either in the main archive or in debian-volatile and/or
backports.org?  If not, could you recommend the preferred way to update
this package on systems running stable (etch)?
