This means this upgrade will not be in the stable releases, right?

I think it make sense to include it (after reading the guidelines in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, please let me know if
that's not the place to look for them), because it is a high-impact bug
(every user in Argentina will want their timezone updated as soon as
possible, and if this change doesn't go in everyone will have to do the
time switch manually on monday) and tzdata is listed as a special case
in that page.

Thanks a lot,
