Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The 2024a release contains the following changes:

  * Kazakhstan unifies on UTC+5 beginning 2024-03-01.
  * Palestine springs forward a week later after Ramadan.
  * zic no longer pretends to support indefinite-past DST.
  * localtime no longer mishandles Ciudad Juárez in 2422.

  [ Test Plan ]

  Test cases were added to the autopkgtest to cover the testing:

  * python: test_2024a
  * python-icu: test_2024a (only for focal and newer)

  So the test plan is to check that the autopkgtest succeeds.

  [ Other Info ]

  The autopkgtest for chrony is flaky on jammy and newer (see bug
  #2002910).
