Subject: Use system timezone

Upstream don't want this patch. See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=730771 for a summary.

This delta is recovered from previous versions of the system timezone patch in
Debian, and appears to have inadvertently been dropped. Author unknown.

To be used in tandem with use_embedded_timezonedb.patch and use_embedded_timezonedb_fixes.patch.
