I've made a small amount of progress on this problem. Basically, it seems
that the Date_ConvTZ method in the new version of Date::Manip does not
handle timezones correctly when they are specified as offsets (+/-NNNN).
It also looks like there may be issues with the way that xmltv uses
Date::Manip.

For anyone who's still having problems with xmltv on squeeze/sid, note that
downgrading to libdate-manip-perl 5.57 from lenny will fix the problem.

I've sent an update on my progress to the xmltv-devel list[0], but I'm
having to put this on hold for now.
