Some of those differences are due to hard links. For example, Tel_Aviv and
Jerusalem. But others are not: nor Anadyr nor Irkutsk are not hard links to
anything in /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia.
I wonder if these differences are seen on Linux distros other then Debian.
Are they significant? Why they are there in the first place?
