  | It seems it is the mapping of the country codes to time zone names 
  | (tags) that is causing the current difficulties.

No, it's not - the current issues have nothing whatever to do with
zone names or country codes (which are two unrelated issues, the latter
of which has only peripheral relevance to tzdb in any case).

The current issue relates to what data is present in some of the zones
as generated by default.

That's it in its entirety.
