  The ICU timezone data has not yet been updated upstream so those changes
  will be included in a later SRU.
  
  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

  is compared to the same output after the updated package got installed.
  If those are different the verification is considered done.
