[plug] Latest timezone files?

Hi all,

Does anyone have (or know where/how to get) the "latest" timezone
files as stored in /usr/share/zoneinfo?

It would seem that the folks in charge have changed several states to
roll daylight saving this Sunday (bleh) and the new zone files for
Sydney, etc aren't even in Sid yet :(

I'm all for generating my own from official sources if need be (such
as outlined at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm), but I can't
even get them working - for one thing, the generated files don't seem
to have any DST changes for good ol' Perth...

Thanks,
Andrew
