It made sense to me. To paraphrase:

Using LINGUAS sucks so we are phasing it out in favour of L10N.

So set L10N to whatever LINGUAS is currently set to, with one change

We are using newer style naming with country codes, so replace _ with -
in things like en_GB.

That's it. If the odd package wants to rebuild, it's because that package
had already moved over to use L10N, so the last update would have built
it with all languages.
