Now you reach something more interesting. At least on RedHat the zoneinfo directory is part of the glibc-common RPM. Someone (Amos?) sugested
Nah, I opposed this idea for similar reasons to yours.
The solution is simple -- distros should have the zoneinfo data as a separate package (how is it on debian?):
I was disappointed to just discover that debian contains the zone files also in glibc. Maybe using "alternatives" will let us install an "override" package?
