Package: tzdata Version: 2009g-0lenny1 Severity: wishlist
I recently wanted to set this system to local standard time, and ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to do so. The local zone is 9 hours west of UTC, -0900 conventionally, but tzdata requires seletcing Etc/GMT+9 instead. I understand this is an upstream, POSIX issue, but maybe it's time to retire this form? A note or hint about the nature of these timezone selections would be helpful in the tzdata interface.
