I was just looking at https://bugs.debian.org/1003044
and found out that it will call zic at some point, to be fixed.
I had no idea it was in /sbin, because it didn't look like a root-only
command to me.
And when looking at other commands in /sbin, zic seems a bit to be a
special case.
But if you don't want to change that, that's okay for me.
