Sebastien, Please see the screenshot.
My timezone is set to Sydney. You will see that Sydney is on daylight saving time (AEDT) and is one hour ahead of Brisbane and Cairns which are on standard time (AEST). For some reason the timezone acronym for Sydney shows EST when it should show EDT. Maybe someone thought of eastern "summer" time and got the acronym wrong. It is common local practise to use only the three letters EST EDT instead of the four letter AEST or AEDT. It will be obvious to you the confusion this causes. The patch available at: http://tedp.id.au/tzdata-au/ fixes this problem, but it should be fixed in Ubuntu.
