Is the inclusion of non-timezone information files intentional?

[mbargull]

This package includes the files

zoneinfo/leapseconds
zoneinfo/iso3166.tab
zoneinfo/zone1970.tab
zoneinfo/zone.tab
zoneinfo/tzdata.zi

. Is this intentional?
Due to lack of knowledge, I can't say if it makes sense to include them or not.
I just noticed them when comparing the list of files to what the install_data Makefile target outputs.

If their inclusion is unintentional, you could simplify your make call with the install_data target to

make \
  TOPDIR="${path_to_tzdata_package}" \
  USRSHAREDIR= \
  POSIXRULES= \
  ZFLAGS='-b slim' \
  install_data

(By setting USRSHAREDIR to an empty value and TOPDIR to the directory that will hold the zoneinfo folder, you can also avoid the post-build shutil.move you currently do.)

This is (mostly) not non-timezone data.

tzdata.zi is an un-compiled minified version of the entire database, and contains more information than the compiled verison. The leapseconds file is the distribution of leap second timings, and the tab files have metadata about time zones in them. This project should aim to provide what a standard installation of tzdata would give you on your system, which includes these files.

Thank you for the insights and confirmation!
