+Timezone data from system timezone database
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Debian PHP has been patched to use of the system wide timezone database
+from the tzdata package, making sure any updates there are automatically
+used by PHP aswell.
+
+Note that this requires that the PHP process has access to /etc/localtime
+and /usr/share/zoneinfo. For any regular installation this should be the
+case, but in specific secured environments when reading the timezone
+database is impossible PHP will give a "Timezone database is corrupt -
+this should *never* happen!" error.
