Bug Description

There is a new upstream release of tzdata, 2020, which includes the following:

  * New upstream release, affecting past and future timestamps:
    - Morocco springs forward on 2020-05-31, not 2020-05-24.
    - Canada's Yukon advanced to -07 year-round on 2020-03-08.
    - America/Nuuk renamed from America/Godthab.

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.

I accepted all the versions, but just wanted to make one thing clear: the SRU policy mentions that usually tzdata SRUs are only upstream tarball updates, but the one for focal also had lots of debian/ file changes (copied over from the groovy update). I assume that was intentional due to the fact that the groovy packaging is based on the same one as the focal packaging.
