The "CET" time zone has vanished between Debian 12 and 13.

For good reasons. This is not a time zone but a time zone abbreviation. We should use "Europe/Paris" instead.

Now we have a crisis meeting because it's a major breaking change that can't be fixed because nobody knows how to set the time zone to a different value in the application 🤦‍♂️

@jriou The TZDB drama has to be the absolute dumbest thing that has happened in this decade.

(Ok, second to AI, probably.)
