[Bug 1878108] Re: new upstream release 2020a

[Łukasz Zemczak]

I accepted all the versions, but just wanted to make one thing clear:
the SRU policy mentions that usually tzdata SRUs are only upstream
tarball updates, but the one for focal also had lots of debian/ file
changes (copied over from the groovy update). I assume that was
intentional due to the fact that the groovy packaging is based on the
same one as the focal packaging.

Bug description:
  There is a new upstream release of tzdata, 2020, which includes the
  following:

    * New upstream release, affecting past and future timestamps:
      - Morocco springs forward on 2020-05-31, not 2020-05-24.
      - Canada's Yukon advanced to -07 year-round on 2020-03-08.
      - America/Nuuk renamed from America/Godthab.

  Verification is done with 'zdump'. The first timezone that gets
  changed in the updated package is dumped with "zdump -v
  $region/$timezone_that_changed" (this needed to be greped for in
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/). [For example: "zdump -v Africa/Casablanca".]
  This is compared to the same output after the updated package got
  installed. If those are different the verification is considered done.
