The short answer seems to be: no.
The long answer:
I'm running unstable, and the tzdata package is described as
This package contains data that represent the history of
local time for many representative locations around the
globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes
made by political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC
offsets, and daylight-saving rules
- From /usr/share/doc/tzdata/changelog.Debian.gz:
tzdata (2006g-2) unstable; urgency=low
* patches/systemv.diff: As Indianapolis use DST since
2006, it can no more be an alias for SystemV/EST5,
replace it with Panama. Closes: #367025

Apparently, tzdata was last updated for the latest change to
Indianapolis's situation (don't ask). Thus, the 2007 idiocy
still awaits inclusion.
From libc6's entry in debian_dists_..._Packages
Replaces: ldso (<= 1.9.11-9), timezone, timezones,
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^
gconv-modules, libtricks, libc6-bin, netkit-rpc,
netbase (<< 4.0)
Depends: tzdata
So it sure looks as if the timezone info used to live in the
libc6 package, but has been split out into the tzdata
package.

If God had meant us to have daylight-savings time, She would
have put the sun overhead at 1 o'clock. --- /me
