Looking at
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2013-April/000011.html
(tzdata2013c release) it looks like DST in Palestine (Asia/Gaza) is
already in effect which wasn't in 2013b, so this seems to have a
concrete effect, if I'm reading this correctly. - Not sure if this
warrants going through -updates now, or what the situation for tzdata
is in this respect.

In general, my idea was to handle libdatetime-timezone-perl like
tzdata in the past for the wheezy lifetime, i.e. to try to provide
recent versions (of the data part only) through stable-updates. --
But I realize this hasn't been discussed with the release team yet :)
