Package: coreutils
Version: 8.26-1
Severity: serious
User: coreut...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: date

There is a regression from jessie, it is no longer possible to choose
the TZ of the output date when providing a TZ for the input date, which
means I can no longer use date to convert between timezones easily.
I have tested that downgrading to coreutils 8.25-2+b1 fixes the issue.

On jessie:

$ TZ="Europe/London" date -d 'TZ="Australia/Perth" 2016-08-15 07:00'
Monday 15 August  00:00:00 BST 2016

On stretch:

$ TZ="Europe/London" date -d 'TZ="Australia/Perth" 2016-08-15 07:00'
Mon 15 Aug 07:00:00 AWST 2016
