No, It's that the time-zone data itself is incorrect.

Debian are being purile perfectionists by not including this in their
automatic bug-fix system, because they claim, with a micro-gramme of
truth, that it's not a 'security' bug.

Check that you have either updated the time-zone data-set manually
from the 'volatile' repository, or downloaded the new data-set from:-
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
or a mirror thereof.
Then compile the time-zone data.
man zic
for all the gore.

Note that Daylight Savings Time is a heineous plot perpertrated by
those who are infected with affluenza to kick a complaisant
proletariat out of bed an hour earlier so that they could get an
hour's extra work done. Whilst that _might_ have been justifiable
during the period 1914 - 1918, it is, without any doubt whatsoever, no
longer the case.
