Sounds like you made half the changes necessary.

You've got a choice. You can run your system on TAI, so your system
clock doesn't skip backward for leap seconds; in that case install
/etc/leapsecs.dat from the clockspeed package, and set your TZ to
one of the "right" zones in the zoneinfo database.

Or you can run your system according to the POSIX clock, with the
clock having to reset when there are leap seconds[1], in which case
you can use the normal timezone but need to remove
/etc/leapsecs.dat.
