The tzdata package and a bug with tzdata-dbg

[Holger Freyther <zecke@selfish.org>]

Hey,

there are not many consumers of the tzdata package but there is one issue you 
might have when updating:
	Both tzdata and tzdata-dbg are providing tzdata and at least my version of 
	ipkg preferred tzdata-dbg over tzdata. The result is that you don't have the
	standard zoneinfo information for cities like New_York.

You want to get rid of tzdata-dbg and you want to get tzdata in this case, I 
have no idea how to do this in ipk terms. An Replace in tzdata 
for "tzdata-dbg" is not enough. I think tzdata-dbg should stop providing 
tzdata and at one point be removed. I have a fix in the OpenMoko OE tree and 
will do one for OE.dev now.

PS: Do we have a policy for such kind of bugs?
