Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal

Hi Daniel,

There are no timezones in /var/log/aptitude, which is annoying, say,
when you travel between Brown University in the US and DebConf5 in
Helsinki (to pick an obviously hypothetical example). Here is a two-line
excerpt from that file on one of my machines which demonstrates this:

Aptitude 0.2.15.9: log report
Fri Jul 15 18:50:33 2005

I would suggest using the RFC 2822 timezone syntax, i.e. -0400 for US
Eastern Daylight Time or +0300 for Helsinki's Eastern European Summer
Time. This avoids ambiguous abbreviations such as EDT (which could refer
to a US or Australian timezone).
