[Bug 2023266] [NEW] Please re-add [pm]mnormalize

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Public bug reported:

The Debian packaging contains these lines:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L43

		--enable-pmnormalize \
		--enable-mmnormalize \

AFAIK these were removed because liblognorm was in universe:

    - Drop [mm|pm]normalize modules, depending on liblognorm from universe.
      + d/rules: drop --enable-mmnormalize & --enable-pmnormalize
      + d/control: drop build dependency on liblognorm-dev

But later on liblognorm was re-added:

  * Re-add build-dependency on liblognorm-dev, also needed for
    rsyslog-kubernetes.
 -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek at ubuntu.com>  Thu, 30 Dec 2021 07:22:05 +0000

So these very useful modules are now excluded from the build for no reason.
Please re-enable them as they're needed in order to receive logs from switches that send non-standard dates, for example:
