Public bug reported:
Python 3.9 introduced the stdlib module "zoneinfo". The module either
uses the operating sytem's tzdata database or the tzdata Python package.
See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/ for more information.
Debian's and Ubuntu's python3.9 package is missing a dependency on
tzdata. This breaks the zoneinfo module in a minimal container:
$ docker run -ti ubuntu:groovy /bin/bash
# apt update
# apt install -y python3.9
# dpkg -l python3.9
