I would like all the work that is already done uploaded first, and
only then look what is not up-to-date with ZTK 1.1

pytz is not even part of ZTK, and should always be the latest, so this
discussion did not need to happen. I can update the ZTK myself, and
the bump of pytz version would be one I would worry the least about.

It is best to match the tzdata version, because python-tz package uses
that data instead of the included one. tzdata in sid is already at
2011j.
