[Lunar-commits] glibc, timezone-data: Resolve conflict between files installed.

[Chad 'v3rt1g0' Kittel]

Why did we do it this way instead of letting the stand-alone
timezone-data be the "master" source of timezone data instead of
glibc?  timezone data can be much more independtly updated (multiple
times a year as changes are made around the world) where as glibc
tends to stagnent. Can't we just have glibc NOT install the
conflicting files and keep timezone-data around?
