Source: pycsw
Version: 2.6.2+dfsg-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since the addition of zoneinfo to the standard library, pytz is fading away.

It has now been formerly deprecated:

https://github.com/stub42/pytz

> Deprecated. This library fails for dates starting 2038. Use modern Python
> and the Python standard library. Updates continue to be made for legacy systems.

Please drop the unused python3-pytz (build-)dependency

Greetings

Alexandre
