I'm not sure this is possible. OpenJDK has a copy of tzdata plus
additional timezones [1] kept to preserve the compatibility with old
versions of Java.

A separate package simply avoids installing a useless file (the tzdb
compiler) on every system with the JRE. Nobody needs this compiler, it's
just a build dependency for tzdata.
