Dear Maintainer,

For a while, `date '+%Z'` displayed 'ART' for America/Argentina/* timezones.
Now it just displays '-03' for some reason. I'm not sure when this issue
started occurring, it was sometime back with jessie. It seems to be an upstream
issue, though.

As explained, this is not a bug, so I am closing it.
