Note that a tzdata-java package will be provided soon (when the openjdk
package is uploaded to unstable).

I am clearly not in favor of providing tzdata-source (and I guess it is
the same for the release team), as it means each time a new tzdata is
uploaded (and that happens often), other packages depending on
tzdata-source have to be rebuilt.
