Package: tzdata
Version: 2010l-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney


the zone names for daylight asavings are the same as for winter time
this causes ambiguity.

$ export TZ=Australia/Sydney

$ date -d '@1301756400' 
Sun Apr  3 02:00:00 EST 2011

$ date -d '@1301760000' 
Sun Apr  3 02:00:00 EST 2011

two distinct times with identical "human readable" representation.
some people may find that confusing.

(the instants used above are one hour before, and at, the end of daylight
saving)

I get the feeling that the daylight-saving timezone is misnamed

Australia/Sydney is not the only Australian zone involved, they should
all be checked.
