The Debian problem has been fixed as part of Debian tzdata 2019c-2, as 
reported here:

https://bugs.debian.org/940852

Debian is upstream from Ubuntu and other distros so the fix should 
eventually propagate there too. I hope macOS follows suit eventually, 
but that's a different process that I'm not familiar with.
