Public bug reported:
the code of tzdata contains information regarding a non-existing
country, the so called "pridnestrovian moldavian republic" (an illegal
political entity that emerged out of a bloody conflict, the conflict
being currently still unresolved). This so called "pridnestrovian
moldavian republic" is not a member of the UN, and its existence has not
been recognized by any world state.

I think the presence of erroneous information in the code constitutes a
bug and should be removed.
Bellow is an example of code from the update package that went out for
all versions, from Hardy Heron to Precise Pangolin:
tzdata (2011n-1) unstable; urgency=critical
* New upstream veersion, fixing DST for:
- Cuba.
- Fidji.
- Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.
* Set urgency to high as some of the above changes are already
effective.
etc.
** Affects: tzdata (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
