Research direction
Reproduce the shown ZoneInfo("US/Central") failure in a python:slim image, then inspect how the slim image installs Debian packages after the Trixie move. Verify whether tzdata-legacy restores the legacy timezone keys and determine which python:slim variants would need coverage; done means the affected lookup works without breaking image builds.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
This may be an expected breaking change, but running the following python code in python:slim stopped working yesterday with the move to Debian Trixie :
>> from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
>> ZoneInfo("US/Central")
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tzdata'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/zoneinfo/_common.py", line 24, in load_tzdata
raise ZoneInfoNotFoundError(f"No time zone found with key {key}")
zoneinfo._common.ZoneInfoNotFoundError: 'No time zone found with key US/Central'
>
This could break existing users that are depending on those timezone strings being available like they were before. This is apparently an expected change in Trixie that installing the tzdata-legacy package would resolve, so throwing that out as a possible mitigation.
