Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

As of tzdata 2022g there are following timezones of Brazil:

America/Noronha
America/Belem
America/Santarem
America/Fortaleza
America/Recife
America/Araguaina
America/Maceio
America/Bahia
America/Sao_Paulo
America/Campo_Grande
America/Cuiaba
America/Porto_Velho
America/Boa_Vista
America/Manaus
America/Eirunepe
America/Rio_Branco

See https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html for details about the
naming. Quote from there: "Timezones are typically identified by
continent or ocean and then by the name of the largest city within the
region containing the clocks."

This kind of change must be done via the upstream project instead of
only in Ubuntu. Please contact upstream via the [email protected] mailing
list. Expect them to ask for evidence. Having Brasília time publicly
used might convince them to change this timezone name.

I am marking this bug as "Won't Fix" (as in not deviating from the
upstream naming) for the Ubuntu tzdata package. Upstream changes will
trickle down to Ubuntu.

** Changed in: tzdata (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Won't Fix
