I wonder why Poland is separate, when there is Europe/Warsaw


Poland is another backwards compatibility alias in the backward file; which you will notice is also in Debian's other package, as of Debian 13.


As an Australian, I love that `Australia/Eucla` is there, with it's silly UTC+8.75.

Some of the other Australian entries are bizarre though - 'North' and 'South'? There is no standard timezone across the whole north or south of the country. And Broken Hill is in NSW, so why are they different time zones?
