I just experimented and confirmed that including backzone isn't nearly sufficient to bring the output data back to what it was previously.
It is sufficient, in the sense that if you included backzone before and still include it now, there are no changes to any timestamps (either pre- or post-1970). I've tested this.
Sorry for not clarifying. Up to now, we've followed tzdb's default output (currently, we just use tzdata.zi as shipped in the tarball). It's that definition that I'd like to stick to, and adding backzone to the build options doesn't match it as of HEAD. regards, tom lane
