Package: tzdata
Version: 2021a-1+deb11u10
Severity: normal

Fore a few days now, I'm getting a message that a file is about to expire:

Nov 30 23:39:21 mymachine ntpd[3392]: leapsecond file ('/usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list'): will expire in less than 28 days

I observed this message appearing "regularly" after a new Debian release appearing on the still running oldstable machines. See also bugs #1012191, #964948.

bullseye-updates is included in my sources.list per instructions on https://wiki.debian.org/StableUpdates

Please provide an updated leap-seconds.list with a new updated tzdata, or advise how to deal with this situation properly.
