I have just installed that patch, and one thing that I found, in the 
displaying of the time in the timestamp, is that the time is displayed 
as "+0900 (WST)".

I realise that it may be regarded as a minor and trivial thing, but, 
shouldn't that be "(WDT)"  ("Western Daylight Time", rather than 
"Western Standard Time") ?

One thing that people like me will need to remember, in using Debian 
Stable, is that, providing the etch is released during the summer, in 
upgrading, we may need to reinstall the time adjustment patch (unless 
it will be incorporated in etch)...
