Which opens a different can of worms.
Duplicate file, with semi-similar contents.

Whenever there are changes in the distribution of the tzdata iso3166.tab equivalent file, I check if they are in the /usr/share/misc equivalent file.
A warning to that file should be added that tzsetup uses it and that they always should check tzsetup functionality before commiting it.
