[Bug 1823778] [NEW] Unable to set Serbian as Language

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj):

[Impact]

The Serbian language items, both the Cyrillic and the Latin, are not
shown as selectable items in the Language widget in Region & Language.
Furthermore, once that has been fixed, selecting the Serbian-Latin
option results in the Serbian-Cyrillic language to be set.

The proposed upload (via merge proposal) fixes both the issues.

[Test Case]

* Install gnome-control-center from bionic-proposed.

* Install the Serbian language via gnome-language-selector.

* Open Settings -> Region & Language and open the Language widget.

* You should see both "Serbian (Serbia)" and "Serbian (Serbia) - latin"
  in the list. Confirm that you can successfully switch to both the
  options.

[Regression Potential]

An explanation how the proposed fixes address the issues would be a bit
technical, but basically we simply drop Ubuntu specific changes which
have proved to have adverse side effects. The regression risk ought to
be low.

[Original description]

Affected: 18.04.2 (did not try earlier versions of 18.04 series)
Not affected: 16.04 - any version (UI was different)

Preparation steps:
1. open gnome control center
2. open Region & Language
3. open Manage installed languages
4. open Install/Remove languages
5. select Serbian, click Apply
6. provide credentials for sudo installation
7. wait for installation to complete
8. click Close

What is wrong:
1. open gnome control center
2. open Region & Language
3. click Language selection
4. Serbian is not visible

Notes:
- Serbian is visible for the Formats selection
- Any other language I thought of: (Macedonian, Croatian, Bosnian, Russion...) simple work.

Here is some dpkg output on installaed packages matching sr (Serbian) or
hr (Croatian).
