7-STABLE: mergemaster tzsetup question

Every time I run mergemaster(8) on 7.4-STABLE, I'm now presented
with

*** There is no /var/db/zoneinfo file to update /etc/localtime.
    You should run tzsetup

Running tzsetup(8) does however not create /var/db/zoneinfo, so
mergemaster will prompt the next time, too.  I guess I can just
ignore it, but it seems weird that mergemaster would keep nagging
about this.

Where is /var/db/zoneinfo supposed to come from?

I also notice that mergemaster can issue tzsetup arguments -C and
-r, but tzsetup doesn't support those.
