If this change was correct, I'd expect to have heard something about it in the news. *Spring* started a few weeks ago, not summer. Is it really supposed to start now?
According to this website: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/argentina-dst-2008-2009.html and a thread that I just noticed on this mailing list, it's supposed to start on October 19th. Today is 5th. By the way, I use Ubuntu Hardy (maybe you already fixed the tzdata but Ubuntu didn't pick it).
