Can a Debian server report local time via ‘date’ without using the tzdata package?

@jfmezei this is not a viable solution for the vast majority of people/admins.
@chris Then it is up to your premier to contact the TZ Data guy and confirm BC time zone name.
Note how different companies such as Apple have defined BC's time zone differently and left it as PDT.
@jfmezei you know that’s a ridiculous thing. The law and the guidance from government are crystal clear.
@m but that still relies on the database maintained by the tzdata folks…. this is the problem… :(
@chris You are free to edit your own copy of the tzdata should and use the tztool to compile it. This way you get the time display you prefer.
