Given the number of packages that currently declare a dependency on tzdata (34~), the ones that seem to have the most potential to pull it for others are language bindings such as python3-dateutil, python3-tz ruby-tzinfo, etc, which handle timezone stuff anyway and would keep pulling it. So I find this assertion hard to believe. And the following points seem to be based on this fundamental assumption.
More to the point and fun fact: The dependency of ruby-tzinfo on tzdata was *missing* in unstable: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026178 It was added after I reported that 21 different ruby packages failed to build in a completely clean build environment. (Special thanks to Antonio Terceiro). Thanks.
