NAK! The main tzdate package is kept as small as possible, only
packaging one tz per continent.

If we look at your patch:

We see you are adding Berlin right below Paris, which is the same TZ
with the same DST rules.

So if you only want to install tzdata and want to have 'date' show the
correct time, use Europe/Paris. If you nationalism prevents you from
doing that and you have some space left in your rootfs, install
'tzdata-europe' :)
