After much head-scratching: _proleptic_ POSIX TZ offsets[1] do indeed tend to refer to more-Westerly locations as the offset values increase in the positive. Back on-topic: I had briefly proposed a merge request on Salsa to use a fixed TZ=UTC setting during package testing via debian/rules -- but after further consideration, I've spent more time investigating the upstream codebase and have offered a possible fixup there (annotated as the forwarded URL for this bug).
