Now you reach something more interesting. At least on RedHat the zoneinfo

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?

You can do an override package easilly. You embed dpkg-divert into the install script, and off you go. That's what it's there for.


If you do dpkg-divert --list, you will see that quite a few packages already do such a trick.
