Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
Looks like GMT[+-}<number> timezones have signs swapped.
My local timezone is Europe/Tallinn
When timezone is set to "Europe/Tallinn", everything is ok:
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Europe/Tallinn
# date
Tue Jun 3 14:34:21 EEST 2014
# date +%z
+0300
# date -u
Tue Jun 3 11:34:59 UTC 2014
I need to set timezone to GMT+2, to avoid dailight savings time.
When I set timezone to "GMT+2", things fall apart. Timezone is shown
GMT+2/GMT-2. Clock is set to GMT-2.
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Etc/GMT+2
# date
Tue Jun 3 09:36:21 GMT+2 2014
# date +%z
-0200
# date -u
Tue Jun 3 11:37:43 UTC 2014
When I set timezone to "GMT-2", then it's turned around. Timezone is shown
GMT-2/GMT+2. Clock is set to GMT+2.
#dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> Etc/GMT-2
# date
Tue Jun 3 13:39:35 GMT-2 2014
# date +%z
