Bug#1090724: python3-sphinx: Regression in datetime handling?

Hi,

Dear Maintainer,

I think there might be a regression in the handling of datetimes in
the latest version of Sphinx, causing a large number of packages to
become unreproducible.

For example, here is python-biom-format that was built with 8.1.3-2:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/doc/python-biom-format-doc/html/BIOM_LICENSE.html
│ │ │ │ @@ -86,12 +86,12 @@
│ │ │ │  
│ │ │ │      <div class="footer" role="contentinfo">
│ │ │ │      © Copyright 2011-2024 The BIOM Format Development Team.
│ │ │ │ -      Last updated on May 27, 2024.
│ │ │ │ +      Last updated on May 28, 2024.


However, this is affecting a large (10s) of packages. I suspect that
this is related to timezone handling (or lack thereof).


Regards,
