I'll set this bug as affecting php package, since this tzdata change is
modifying the behaviour of php timezone.
## REPRODUCER ##
ubuntu@trusty:~# sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Godthab

ubuntu@trusty:~# reboot

Title:
tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken
Status in php5 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in php7.0 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed
from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP
applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo.
This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in
combination with change from DST.
Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
