Dear Maintainer,

trixie (2026c-0+deb13u1) and bookworm-security (2026c-0+deb12u1) still
carry tzdata 2026c. On 2026-11-01 at 02:00, America/Winnipeg (with
Canada/Central and America/Rainy_River) and America/Inuvik will fall back
by one hour on these systems. Under tzdata 2026d and 2026e (both in
unstable as 2026e-1), they stay on -05 and -06. trixie-proposed-updates
and bookworm-proposed-updates are empty, and the last point release was
13.7 on 2026-09-12.

On stock debian:13 and debian:12 images, for 2026-11-02 12:00 UTC:
  TZ=America/Winnipeg date -d '2026-11-02 12:00Z' +%z   gives -0600 (expected 
-0500)
  TZ=America/Inuvik   date -d '2026-11-02 12:00Z' +%z   gives -0700 (expected 
-0600)

We prepared 2026e-0+deb13u1 and 2026e-0+deb12u1 and tested them in
containers:

- trixie: merge upstream 2026e (orig tarball identical to IANA's,
  signature good) and add Revert-Fix-POSIX-conformance-of-old-SysV-names.patch
  from 2026e-1 unchanged.
- bookworm: the same, but the existing revert-systemv-deprecation.patch
  does not apply to 2026d or later on its own (4 of 5 hunks fail in
  backward). It applies cleanly when the 2026e-1 revert patch is listed
  before it in debian/patches/series.

Results:
- After upgrading, both zones give the expected offsets, and so do
  Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Regina and Casablanca.
- For every installed zone, a zdump -v -c 1800,2040 before/after
  comparison shows changes in only America/Winnipeg, Canada/Central,
  America/Rainy_River, America/Inuvik, America/Bogota, Asia/Tehran, Iran,
  Europe/Dublin and Eire, which matches the 2026d/2026e NEWS. No zone is
  added or removed. CET, CST6CDT, EET, EST, EST5EDT, HST, MET, MST,
  MST7MDT, PST8PDT and WET are unchanged.
- The file lists of tzdata (and tzdata-legacy on trixie) are identical to
  2026c.
- The python, chrono and test_timezone_conversions autopkgtests from
  2026e-1 pass on trixie, with and without tzdata-legacy. On stock 2026c,
  only test_2026d and test_2026e fail. bookworm's own python test passes.

We can send the debdiffs if they would help.
