America/Indiana/Indianapolis are incorrect

Package: evolution
Version: 2.4.2.1-2
Severity: normal
I live in south-central Indiana; I have /etc/timezone set to
US/East-Indiana, and my Evolution time zone set to
America/Indiana/Indianapolis. As you've probably heard, this time zone
just recently started observing daylight savings time for the first time in
70 years.
As a result of this change, the times for appointments in my Evolution
calendar are being handled inconsistently. When I actually look at my
calendar in Evolution itself, everything looks the way I expect it to, with
appointments at the correct time, and so on. However, when I click on my
GNOME clock applet to bring up a calendar, the times it shows for the day's
appointments are an hour behind the times I expect. I'm also receiving
alarms an hour later than I should.
I tried changing the
/usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.4/zoneinfo/America/Indiana/Indianapolis.ics
file so that it resembled
/usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.4/zoneinfo/America/New_York.ics. This
made times for my appointments be reported consistently between different
applications (Evolution and the clock applet), but they were all an hour
behind.
All these problems affect all appointments that occur while we're observing
daylight savings time. If I look at appointments far into the future,
after we fall back, correct times are reported everywhere.
