A diff between the "timezone" dir in sarge's glibc sources and upstream CVS
HEAD's lists changes for at least Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Cuba,
Georgia, Haiti, Iran, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Libya, Nicaragua, Palestine,
Tasmania, Tunisia, United States of America, Uruguay as well as the 2005
leap second.
IMHO those are sufficient changes to warrant an update in stable.
