Just download the up-to-date packages and install them manually.. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tzdata&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tzdata&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
On my raring machine the tzdata 2013b-1ubuntu1 is still a bit out of date (ie. Oct 5 instaed of Oct 27), but they still have a month to correct that, or alternatively I'll likely anyhow do a slightly early upgrade to 13.10....
