I was actually hesitating whether or not it makes sense to get this fix
into bionic. Yes, the fix is legit and I think this is how it should be
in language-selector from the beginning - an invalid locale string
should not cause a crash but should be handled as you proposed. I was a
bit worried since I think we anyway need to get localechooser fixed, as
this fix here will only eliminate the crash - certain new locales still
won't work as they should because of the missing codeset component. And
every update carries a risk, so potentially we'd like to avoid
unnecessary updates.
But... I decided that in this case we should just do it. I might pick up
and get localechooser do the right thing, but language-selector binaries
are anyway quite small and who knows when we'll encounter the issue
again.
