If you use libc6 from unstable, you should also uses tzdata from unstable. libc6 conflicts on the orginally version in etch, but unfortunately this doesn't work anymore now that the version has been upgraded. I can confirm this bug on a testing(lenny) system. The problem come from the tzdata packet 2007j-1etch1 which is present in the volatile repository. The volatile repository is for stable(etch) systems but I do not know if this bug occurs on stable systems. Antoine

We are working on a solution so that an upgrade of libc6 also imply an upgrade of tzdata. -- .''`.
