Bug#501169: tzdata has moved the GMT from -3 to -2.



Argentinian government hasn't decided upon the Daylight Saving times
for 2008.  They might happen in October, November, December or not
happen at all.

tzdata 2008-e release (present in Etch and Lenny) has the switch
scheduled for today, so a lot of boxes are currently showing the wrong
time.

tzdata 2008-f release (present in Sid) changed the switch for the
third Sunday in October.  I have no idea from where they got this
information, I've crawled every possible news site from our country
and there has been no information regarding the switch for this year.

With the current situation, what should be done is apply a patch that
stops any time changes, until further notice.  I'm currently working
on it.  WIll submit it as soon as I have it.
