I've just realized that it is normal (as per the zic man page, I think) 
for the "right" (a.k.a. "leap") zone files to be truncated at the expiry 
time of the leapseconds file (although the files installed by Debian zic 
seem to continue beyond the expiry time). I must admit I wasn't 
expecting that. I thought the output would continue as though there 
would be no changes to the leap seconds in the future.
