Bug description:
  New upstream version, affecting the following future timestamps:
    - Fiji starts DST later than usual, on 2020-12-20.
    - Palestine ends DST earlier than predicted, on 2020-10-24.
    - Revised predictions for Morocco's changes starting in 2023.
    - Canada's Yukon changes to -07 on 2020-11-01, not 2020-03-08.
    - Macquarie Island has stayed in sync with Tasmania since 2011.
    - Casey, Antarctica is at +08 in winter and +11 in summer since 2018.

  Additionally, upstream removed the "old" SystemV timezones, but the
  SRU will ensure that they are kept. Subsequently, these should be
  checked for using the following:

  zdump -v SystemV/MST7
  zdump -v America/Phoenix

  The information returned by SystemV/MST7 should be included in
  America/Phoenix's output.

  Verification is done with 'zdump'. The first timezone that gets
  changed in the updated package is dumped with "zdump -v
  $region/$timezone_that_changed" (this needed to be greped for in
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/). [For example: "zdump -v Africa/Casablanca".]
  This is compared to the same output after the updated package got
  installed. If those are different the verification is considered done.
