Package: tzdata
Version: 2011n-0squeeze1
Severity: wishlist

It could be useful to have a mechanism so that a tzdata upgrade (or downgrade) would run scripts that could perform actions such as updating any derived data on the system.

As an example we could have one such action a script that runs mysql_tzinfo_to_sql as debian-sys-maint to repopulate the timezone tables with the updated timezone information.

As a suggestion, this could be implemented as running all scripts in a /etc/tzdata.d directory at the end of the postinst script.

No news from the submitter, I am therefore closing the bug.
