- Drop the timezone-java (bsc#1213470).
After thorough consideration of possible problems that arise from
having a timezone package specifically for the Java ecosystem,
Fridrich Strba and I have decided to drop the package altogether.
Doing so means the JDK will use its built-in timezone data that is
updated quarterly, when refreshed JDK versions are released.
While this does mean there could be situations where there is a bit
of a mismatch between the 'timezone' package's data, and the data
that is used by JDK, in practice the difference will be minimal and
short-lived.
So we've established this to be the best course of action.

not really my place here, but drop also the *.changes file
sorry, I see it was already dropped... then we can drop also _multibuild, I think. And congratulations for modernizing this package :) I hope there won't be problems in pushing this change to SLE.
