Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tzdata

During an apt-get upgrade on a server running Hardy 8.04.3 LTS the
tzdata package was updated.

The package version upgraded from 2008h-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 to 2009m-
0ubuntu0.8.04.

I expected that the system would keep it's previously specified timezone
information.

Instead the timezone was reset to EDT during the package upgrade.

This is a particularly bad thing in production environments where time
differences between the clock and file timestamps trigger alerts. This
also particularly bad when going through a patching cycle on multiple
servers, since it requires extra steps to be taken outside the upgrade
process.
