Hello.

One of the reasons tzdata will not migrate to testing is that it has an
artificial bug preventing it from doing so:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084190

In my opinion (after reporting several tzdata-related bugs
and also fixing some of them), the breakage introduced by tzdata
is very small compared with the one introduced by gcc-14
(which generated 800 FTBFS bugs), and AFAIK there was not
any bug against gcc-14 saying "gcc-14 breaks many packages".

So: Could some Release Manager evaluate if we really need Bug #1084190
at this point?

Maybe we could just rely on existing autopkgtests to determine
if it's the right time for tzdata to propagate to testing or not.

(Cc: to Rebecca who reported the blocking bug and also to the
tzdata maintainers).

Thanks.
