Yes, this is an intentional change. All backward compatibility symlinks
were moved to the tzdata-legacy package. Please install this package for
such use cases.

Title:
US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy
Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
On 22.04 Jammy with tzdata version 2024a-0ubuntu0.22.04 installed, we
have `/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/*` symlinks. On 23.10 Mantic with tzdata
version 2024a-0ubuntu0.23.10, we do not. Is this an intentional
removal? I don't follow the IANA mailing lists, but I had
thought/assumed that "Country/Region" symlinks were being maintained
for backward compatibility.
Many tools I use reference multiple timezones (regardless of the
system TZ), so it is necessary to have them available. As a temporary
workaround, we can make the symlinks manually.
