  <summary>timezone: Update to 2011c</summary>
  <description>The Olson timezone database has been updated to version
2011c:

This package update contains the following DST-related
changes:

  * Pacific/Fiji will end DST 3 weeks earlier than expected
    - on March 6, 2011, not March 27, 2011.
  * Pacific/Apia will switch from WSDT to WST on Apr 3;
    however, the precise time of the switch has been
    incorrect in previous version.
  * Chile (America/Santiago, Pacific/Easter) will postpone
    the end of DST by a month again, this time to help
    dealing with the water shortage; the DST will end on
    April 3, 2011, not March 13, 2011.

These new zones have been introduced:

  * Mercer County, North Dakota
    (America/North_Dakota/Beulah) switched from the
    mountain time zone to the central time zone at the last
    transition from daylight-saving to standard time (on
    Nov. 7, 2010).
  * Detailed information on time changes in some Indian
    reservations in Alaska has been discovered, leading to
    split of new timezones America/Sitka and
    America/Metlakatla off America/Juneau.

Historical time information has been adjusted for these
zones:
  * America/Juneau has been adjusted in accordance with the
    discovered information on Alaska time history.
  * Asia/Hong_Kong declared that daylight saving was used
    in year 1977, while in fact it was not.
  * South Australia (Australia/Adelaide,
    Australia/Broken_Hill) definitions have been cleaned
    up; the zone binary data changed but not the
    interpretation.
  * Pacific/Honolulu has been corrected to correctly define
    abandonment of local mean time as of 1896 and DST usage
    between 1942 and 1945.
