Hi, We encountered this same FTBFS in Ubuntu.
Attached is a static quilt patch that provides the missing po/LINGUAS file to resolve the build failure. Best, Sumit

This static patch helps provide the missing file to prevent the build from silently generating an empty locale directory and failing during dh_install.
