Oh, sorry for the noise..

Bruno: there is sr@Latn in configure.ac in ALL_LINGUAS variable, I think
we need to change it to sr@latin.

Idea with having sr@Latn was because, it seems, all distros have both,
sr@Latn and sr@latin. But I guess distro's usecase is special, they have
to support old apps as long as possible. If all distros have sr@latin
for 2 years, there is no need in supporting it in GC.
