Yup, but that is a problem that needs to be fixed upstream; and hasn't (TTBOMK) been completed yet, although it goes in the right direction: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-perl-maintainers/2012-March/052645.html > Having the tz db duplicated in multiple packages is getting old.

If the Release Team agrees, we can update libdatetime-timezone-perl via stable-updates after the release. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
