[Bug 2052739] Re: tzdata 2024a release

[Andreas Hasenack]

The SRU documentation[1] on tzdata describes other, or additional, tests, to be performed in this package. Is that:
a) assumed, and will be done?
b) autopkgtests cover it?
c) was forgotten, and should be added to the test plan?

Title:
  tzdata 2024a release

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in tzdata source package in Focal:
  Confirmed
Status in tzdata source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed
Status in tzdata source package in Mantic:
  Confirmed

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).
