This change breaks "tzdata-for-tests".  Are there preferences to either:

1) Take the 2360 packages rebuild hit (and update dbus, glib and
  friends); or
2) Copy the old package definition to "tzdata-for-tests".

I'm leaning towards 2), and instead do a new core-updates round in the
near future, since the previous core-updates took way longer than normal.

Oops, of course it broke. I'll do 2 shortly.
