It is not like we had several reports of people complaining they can't build a package because they are in an environment without tzdata. It is not OK to create problems to force many volunteers to do extra work.
Of course, declaring something as not a bug is easier than fixing the bug. But there are several points to consider: * The "extra work" is adding a single line to debian/control. * This is not the right time for a policy change. * I already filed all the bugs I found after building the whole of bookworm from source. I do not expect there are a lot of unreported bugs right now of that type. * Most of the bugs I reported about this are already fixed. * Those bugs are a drop in the ocean of all FTBFS bugs which happened during this release cycle. * Those bugs are RC by definition and have been for a long time. Therefore, this discussion is absolutely pointless. So please stop harassing me about this issue. Thanks.
