I can reproduce the failure in a bionic, jammy, and oracular chroot:

```
$ schroot-wrapper -p tzdata -c jammy -u root
(jammy)root@host:~# ln -sf  /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime
(jammy)root@host:~# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
(jammy)root@host:~# echo $?
10
```

This is a bug that should be fixed. dpkg-reconfigure should not fail on
those legacy timezones.

Upstream dropped those legacy timezones in the 2024b release. So I
recommend switching to the country/city timezones (like US/Central) or
to the Etc/GMT* zones in case you want to ignore DST.

The current plan is to keep these legacy timezones in place for the
stable release (to not enforce those changes to our customers on the
stable releases).
