The duplicate entries should really be there to make it easier to
configure, shouldn't they?

FWIW, there are 465 files in my /usr/lib/zoneinfo.  359 of them are
unique, according to md5sum.  That means there are only 106
"unnecessary" duplicates, which should all be linked with one of the
originals (and probably are).

There *must* be more important things to do than nitpicking like this.
