The upstream pyinstaller-hooks-contrib bug report is here:

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller-hooks-contrib/issues/953

They addressed the bug complaint with a patch that simply ignores the timezone 
used by the server.

The effects of this change is that now the Salsa CI reprotest will pass.

The reproducible builds test, which used to pass, will continue to do so but 
will now no long exercise the timezone shift in this test.

The regression in the testing of the timezone shift is a bit sad to me, but 
not enough that I am going alter the upstream behavior (I have a strong 
preference as a packager to ship code as similar to upstream as possible).  
This is probably the best possible outcome as it is unlikely that the large 
number of upstream projects that expect time zones to be in the zoneinfo 
format are going to add support for antiquated formats just to make a very 
small number of older, embedded systems happy.  Also, as support for time zone 
reproducible build variation is not a core goal of the majority of these 
projects, hard coding the time zone doesn’t register as a loss for them.
