So where are 38k lines here, which changed?
In general i have no problem to accept a package into volatile, if one can give
me GOOD reasons, why all these changes are necessary. What i do not understand
is, why tzdata has about 300 lines changed, while your package needs 38k lines
changed to achive the same effect.
