The change wasn't arbitrary, btw. The timezone package used to come
with POSIX timezone files and now comes with right timezone files.
The difference is the right ones make corrections for leap seconds,
and the POSIX ones don't.
There's currently some discussion on debian-devel as to which one is
better.
