Yes, I consider pytzdata as API to an external "db", and aligning
pytzdata with tzdata (e.g. by building against it) is definitely a
must. I'm wondering, though, why we don't simply use pzdata's feature
of setting a different path in order to point to
`/usr/share/zoneinfo`?
... and that is what your pr2 does, of course. Due to the
buildrequires, I misread it first. I'd tie the versions for now and go
with that.
