What is the actual behavior here? Did the login.defs parser regress?

  [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * debian/patches/40_one_lang_option_per_translation.patch:
    - The option list in the language chooser changed so the items
      represent available translations instead of locales
      (LP: #693337).
    - setlocale() validation removed (not applicable).
    - Show locale variants in the list of language options
      (LP: #408474).
  * debian/patches/36_language_environment_settings.patch:
    - Skip the encoding part in the dmrc "Language" value. It's not
      a locale name, so let's not give the impression it is.
    - Take main country code into account when generating
      a locale name for LC_MESSAGES.

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * Restore 24_respect_system_minuid.patch: upstream does not handle
    reading login.defs yet (LP: #708911).
