Yes, sorry for the confusion. They probably do this because hard links
are more efficient.

I have pretty much trust in upstream for that, and I verified the
correctness of the Australia/Perth timezone myself, but of course more
verification can never hurt. But in particular the Edgy update does
not touch so many time zones in the first place.
