Research direction
Start by reviewing the PostgreSQL Docker image's Debian trixie base-image and tzdata upgrade, then verify how the listed obsolete time-zone names are handled by PostgreSQL. Determine whether compatibility should be restored or the breaking change documented; done means the expected behavior and user-facing resolution are established.

Description
After the debian trixie update yesterday it looks like that my django app tests started to error with:
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "America/Buenos_Aires" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "America/Indianapolis" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Asia/Ashkhabad" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Asia/Chungking" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Asia/Macao" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Asia/Thimbu" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Australia/NSW" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Australia/South" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Australia/West" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Brazil/Acre" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Canada/Atlantic" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Chile/EasterIsland" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Europe/Uzhgorod" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Iran" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "NZ" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Pacific/Truk" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "Singapore" not recognized
psycopg.errors.InvalidParameterValue: time zone "US/Michigan" not recognized
These are old obsolete time zone names that worked until the debian new trixie base image upgraded tzdata.
Just opened this issue as it was a little surprising breaking change as the postgres version didn't change.
I'm also fine if this is just noted as expected side effect.
