TIL debian broke a bunch of postgresql installs because it chose to split the tzdata package into tzdata and tzdata-legacy, which resulted in all US/* timezones disappearing (nowadays they’re organized by continent)

the tzdata-legacy package contains mostly duplicates under the old file paths, as mentioned in upstream’s
backward file (which describes the links)

i can’t see a single good reason for debian to do this split. the extra files could’ve just been hardlinks in a single package so this gains absolutely nothing. but that’s debian for ya lol
