Package: postgresql-9.4
Version: 9.4.6-0+deb8u1~bpo70+1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,
	In postgresql-9.2 and forward the default timezone is no longer the system timezone but GMT instead.  The configuration file
still says the default is system time.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/runtime-config-client.html#GUC-TIMEZONE

This is still in the postgresql.conf

timezone = '(defaults to server environment setting)'                                                                                                   
#timezone_abbreviations = 'Default'     # Select the set of available time zone                                                                          
					# abbreviations.  Currently, there are                                                                           
                                        #   Default                                                                                                      
                                        #   Australia                                                                                                    
                                        #   India

                                        # share/timezonesets/.
