This is interesting because that test didn't fail before and we didn't
need the tzdata package installed.

The tests always failed (in bullseye) in a chroot not containing tzdata.
From my own autobuilders:

Status: failed      arduino-builder_1.3.25-2_amd64-20210129T121615.663Z
Status: failed      arduino-builder_1.3.25-2_amd64-20210129T132227.024Z

Part of the problem is that debootstrap installs tzdata by default even
if it's not build-essential, but that's a bug in debootstrap:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=837060

The other part of the problem is that people use debootstrap "as is",
without asking it not to install tzdata, which produces non-minimal
chroots in which packages which build ok are still not guaranteed
to have their build-dependencies right.

(Fortunately I only found 25 packages in bullseye with this kind of
missing build-dependency, so I believe it's still feasible to make
bullseye policy compliant before it becomes oldstable).

Thanks.
