Bug Description
Daylight saving time ends on April 2 this year in (parts of) Australia (due to commonwealth games), but the timezone data in breezy doesn't reflect this:
caedwa@
Australia/Melbourne Sat Mar 25 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:59:59 2006 EST isdst=1 gmtoff=39600
Australia/Melbourne Sat Mar 25 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:00:00 2006 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
Fedora has the correct data:
[caedwa@harry ~]$ /usr/sbin/zdump -v -c 2007 Australia/Melbourne | grep 2006
Australia/Melbourne Sat Apr 1 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 02:59:59 2006 EST isdst=1 gmtoff=39600
Australia/Melbourne Sat Apr 1 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 02:00:00 2006 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
I don't know if dapper has the correct data, but it would be nice to have it fixed in breezy!

Dapper has the correct data.
I agree that this fix should be pushed out to all supported releases. Otherwise most Ubuntu computers in Australia will show the incorrect time for a week.
