Installing -full package will pull in all the things and make all the
things work.
We absolutely have a wrath of people complaining about the size of
tzdata and that it must not be in their containers / systems, even
though they otherwise use python.
so would you rather not ship zoneinfo module,
we just removed tzdata to be not required.
and it will make core snaps larger, because normally we exclude tzdata
from minimal installs.

Title:
Python 3.9 package is missing dependency on tzdata

Matthias, your comment #2 is mistaken for two reasons:
* In Ubuntu, tzdata is Priority: important, not Priority: required.
* Only dependencies on Essential packages may be omitted; merely being
Priority: required is not sufficient. See Debian policy 3.5.
** Changed in: python3.9 (Ubuntu)
As I mentioned on the Arch Linux tracker, I think there are good reasons
for declaring an explicit dependency on tzdata even if it the dependency
should be satisfied transitively or implicitly:

Presumably it doesn't hurt anything to
Required or not, it's not part of the Ubuntu container image and
therefore not available in minimal container setups. My initial comment
contains a reproducer for the issue. It shows that zoneinfo module is
broken in Ubuntu Groovy container.
