I've been pondering about using ntp-classic's script for that in Debian, but decided not to. I also don't know if there is any other Linux distribution that automates this. However, I already get a /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list from the tzdata package that updates the timezone information and I should probably look into using that file to update things. Those files get regular updates. The t...@iana.org list has been notified, the git repository updated, there just hans't been a release since. There has been a proposal by Poul-Henning Kamp to use an DNS A-record for it, see: http://phk.freebsd.dk/time/20151122.html I don't know if this went anywhere.
