  UPDATE: I don't think it's a regression anymore, see comment #5

  """
  Hello.
  After automatic upgrade of tzdata from 2023c-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 to 2024a-0ubuntu0.22.04
  the previously set EST time zone was automatically changed to "America/Adak" or "America/Indiana/Indianapolis" on all our servers (50+).
  Look like a bug in tzdata configure script.
