Their removal appears to be related to this request: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040997

This request does not provide any support as to why Debian should deviate from IANA standards.

Requesting that Debian again adopt international time zone standards and support these well known IANA time zones as it does in Bookworm.
