Hi. Before that: This one, most probably, happens because of a missing
Build-Depends on tzdata.

So, to reproduce, please make sure your chroot has been created with debootstrap
in trixie/sid, since tzdata is not build-essential. Previously, debootstrap
installed all required packages (no matter what), which made bugs like this
one to be hidden (see #837060 for details).

However, as Gregor points out, the missing build-dependency (if that's really
the reason for the build failure) may be added either directly or indirectly
by making libdatetime-timezone-perl to binary-depend on tzdata. Given
the package name, it makes sense.

Thanks.
