Hi,
That's an odd one. I cannot reproduce it in any version, because in
all my attempts (1.6.22-2 in a bullseye sbuild, in an sid sbuild, as
well as in the build logs of the official buildds for all of 1.6.22-2,
1.6.25-1 and 1.7.1-1) tzdata is actually installed in the build
environment, even without additional build-dep.
tzdata is not really build essential, you should not install it in a
chroot used to build packages from scratch. It follows from this that if
you want to be sure that you don't miss build-dependencies, you should
not accept debootstrap defaults when creating a chroot, as it installs
several packages which are not build-essential.
To reproduce, try building the package in a chroot which does not
contain tzdata.
Both the official buildds and schroots created using the documented
sbuild-createchroot then apparently do not follow recommended procedure?
I have no problem fixing this up in unstable, but I think this does not
warrant a stable update.
BTW, it is reproducible using "sbuild --add-conflicts=tzdata"
