The tzdata package ships /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ (for Coordinated
Universal Time) and /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/ (for International Atomic
Time). The files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ are identical to their
counterpart in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. The tzdata package converts the
configured posix/* and right/* timezones to their unprefixed variant on
every package upgrade (e.g. it changes "posix/Europe/Berlin" to
"Europe/Berlin").
Is there anybody actually using /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix or
/usr/share/zoneinfo/right?
Aurelien and I assume that probably nobody is using them. We plan to
drop both directories. If nobody speaks up, I will remove them in the
coming weeks from the Ubuntu tzdata package prior to the feature freeze.
After the Debian 12 "bookworm" release, we will remove it from Debian.
