First investigation indicate that the timezones in backzone did not get the recent updates applied to them.
The Makefile says to use PACKRATDATA=backzone only if "out-of-scope and often-wrong data" are wanted, so those issues are as advertised. Please feel free to suggest specific fixes to backzone, using "git format-patch" to format the patches so that they can be applied easily. Another possibility is to not use PACKRATDATA=backzone, as it is not well maintained and surely has other problems.
While looking at the code, I noticed that building with PACKRATLIST=zone.tab in addition to PACKRATDATA=backzone should be a good compromise. Then all those inconsistencies will be resolved, but Asia/Hanoi will be gone. Is it okay to add Asia/Hanoi to zone.tab (see git patch attached). -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
