It's very important update for everyone using debian in Russia, so
please, consider to push it to -updates and include in oldstable.
Our law on this matter become effective next week (September, 7) and
all systems where patch will not be installed on October, 30 will have
incorrect time.


For the record, after some discussion with the maintainers on IRC and as
the next point releases for both stable and oldstable are due to occur
before mid-October, we've decided not to push an update earlier.  There
may be an update to either package before the point release in order to
incorporate any further changes.


Well, in Egypt, as of the last Friday of April 2011, a Squeeze 
installation has incorrect time. I believe pushing an update is worth 
reconsidering.

If it's broken for more than four months now, why has nobody mentioned
the issue before?


I myself was using Ubuntu - which had the updated tzdata package - and 
was recently considering switching a group of hosts to Debian when I ran 
into the issue.
