This bug was fixed in the package tzdata - 2023c-4exp1ubuntu1
---------------
tzdata (2023c-4exp1ubuntu1) mantic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
- Ship 2023c ICU timezone data which are utilized by PHP in tzdata-icu
- Add autopkgtest test case for ICU timezone data
- Do not rename NEWS into changelog.gz, this fixes a build failure on
moment-timezone.js
- Point Vcs-Browser/Git to Launchpad
- generate_debconf_templates: Work around AttributeError on icu import
tzdata (2023c-4exp1) experimental; urgency=medium
* Drop /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix (identical to /usr/share/zoneinfo)
(LP: #2008076)
* Split right/* timezones into separate tzdata-legacy package (LP: #2008076)
* Drop providing tzdata-bookworm from tzdata
tzdata (2023c-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Sort timezones naturally in debconf
* Add explanation for plus/minus used by Etc/GMT timezones
(Closes: #540305, LP: #1325949)
* Build tzdata with PACKRATLIST=zone.tab. In combination with
PACKRATDATA=backzone (which is used since 2022g-3), time zones that differ
pre-1970 and had been resurrected will not incur changes to data from 1970
on. This also removes Asia/Hanoi again. (LP: #2017999)
* Update Croatian debconf translation. Thanks to Tomislav Krznar.
tzdata (2023c-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* test_timezone_conversions: Print all failures before failing
* Add Romanian debconf translation. Thanks to Remus-Gabriel Chelu
(Closes: #1034094)
* Add Language metadata to all debconf translation files
* Convert Pacific/Ponape to Pacific/Pohnpei on upgrade
* Convert Asia/Ujung_Pandang to Asia/Makassar on upgrade
* Convert Pacific/Truk to Pacific/Chuuk on upgrade
* Fix or drop wrong translations
* Check debconf translation files for inconsistencies
* Fix German translation of Christmas and Easter Island

Bug description:
Looks like GMT[+-}<number> timezones have signs swapped.
My local timezone is Europe/Tallinn
When timezone is set to "Europe/Tallinn", everything is ok:
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Europe/Tallinn
# date
Tue Jun 3 14:34:21 EEST 2014
# date +%z
+0300
# date -u
Tue Jun 3 11:34:59 UTC 2014
I need to set timezone to GMT+2, to avoid dailight savings time.
When I set timezone to "GMT+2", things fall apart. Timezone is shown
GMT+2/GMT-2. Clock is set to GMT-2.
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Etc/GMT+2
# date
Tue Jun 3 09:36:21 GMT+2 2014
# date +%z
-0200
# date -u
Tue Jun 3 11:37:43 UTC 2014
When I set timezone to "GMT-2", then it's turned around. Timezone is shown
GMT-2/GMT+2. Clock is set to GMT+2.
#dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Etc/GMT-2
# date
Tue Jun 3 13:39:35 GMT-2 2014
# date +%z

# date -u
