It was necessary for me to run tzsetup again to reset /etc/localtime
when I did a similar adjustment for the change to daylight savings rules
during the Commonwealth Games here in Australia.

Alternatively you could copy the appropriate zone file as follows

cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime

after applying the new datafile (this is the sequence I used last
december) 

# cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo
# tar zxf tzdata2005r.tar.gz
# make
# make install
# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime
