Please have a look at this map of Asia:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/middle_east_and_asia/asia_pol00.jpg

and tell me where Madagascar is because I can't find it on the map.

Madagascar must not appear in the section "Asia" of the timezone
database.

I agree with you on the fact it's not a documentation issue but a bug
in the timezone database.

I reassign this bug to the feature request category.

This is how the timezone database is built, so that's how we document
it.

Indian ocean has everything to with India. It is named after the
country.

I meant "The Indian ocean should BE a region of the world by itself"
but you probably understood

Description:
------------
"Indian" is a short for "Indian Ocean", it has almost nothing to do
with India.

Could you please put Madagascar NOT in the region Asia?

Thanks.

Expected result:
----------------
The Indian ocean should a region of the world by itself.

For example, tzconfig shows:

Please enter the number of the geographic area in which you live:

        1) Africa                       7) Australia
        2) America                      8) Europe
        3) US time zones                9) Indian Ocean
        4) Canada time zones            10) Pacific Ocean
        5) Asia                         11) Use System V style time
zones
        6) Atlantic Ocean               12) None of the above


Actual result:
--------------
Madagascar is listed in the region Asia
