I had a look into the code, and concluded that is meant to be used for inter-plugin dependencies.
Then I googled:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/132
so I think you can remove it from your metadata.txt (unless Alessandro maybe can reveal a new trick from his sleeve about Python module dependencies :-) )

Ah, clear (I think). I loaded that shapefile and see that the data is more or less a buffer around the countries/islands.
I thought more that is was a combinaties of areas shaped as long lines, like the colored image attached.

When you click in the North sea just above The Netherlands, you end up with UTC. but that is probably ok as maybe a timezone is/should be undefined if you do not click on land?

As said: I thought there were lines crossing the oceans... but live is never that easy :-)
