--- Begin Message ---Package: tzdata Version: 2023c-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, These directories are names of countries and contain only symlinks to elsewhere: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Brazil/ /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/ /usr/share/zoneinfo/Chile/ /usr/share/zoneinfo/Mexico/ /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/ These country names exist in the "top-level" directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/ and are only symlinks to elsewhere: Cuba Egypt Eire GB GB-Eire Hongkong Iceland Iran Israel Jamaica Japan Kwajalein Libya NZ NZ-CHAT Navajo PRC Poland Portugal ROC ROK Singapore Turkey W-SU There are around 200 recognized countries in the world, and there probably is a historical reason for the above countries to be mentioned by name and receive special treatment in tzdata. If this historical reason is no longer relevant, please start gradually moving towards using as few country names in tzdata as possible, and instead use a directory for geographical region (continent or ocean) and city name inside that directory. Please keep the top-level directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/ clean and organized. Thank you. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/2008076 has already taken some steps towards better organizing of the tzdata files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/
