Hello Aurelien, the problem described by Christoph happens for me, too.

Well, yes and no. It tries to install the bullseye version over the one
from bookworm, but it's not a downgrade because 2024b-0+deb11u1 >
2024a-0+deb12u1.
$ apt policy tzdata
tzdata:
Installed: 2024a-0+deb12u1
Candidate: 2024b-0+deb11u1
Version table:
2024b-0+deb11u1 500

OK, you could argue I should have deleted the bullseye sources from my
apt configuration or at least have given bookworm a higher pin. But you
could also argue that bullseye-security shouldn't have a higer version
than bookworm(-security) or that the upgrade from 2024a-0+X to 2024b-0+X
should just work.
Best regards
