it'd be helpful to propose specific changes in "git format-patch" form. These should be independent of the main data, so presumably they would patch the "backzone" file. It might help to try these changes out on Ubuntu first, by patching there and seeing how well it works there.
Another possibility that just occurred to me, is that you could use "make DATAFORM=vanguard" when building tzdata. The vanguard format treats links-to-links in a better way, and this should fix the particular symlink issue you mentioned. It entails several other changes too, though, so it'd be a good idea to review them too.
