Are you sure about this? There is no Debian or Ubuntu host I have
access to that has a /usr/share/zoneinfo/ that contains more than
4MiB of data. For yours to have 256 times this much is quite an
aberration. What did you type to determine that your
/usr/share/zoneinfo/ has 1GiB of data in it?

You can set any process to have a different time zone by use of
environment variables.
