AFAIK LINGUAS is not a standards.  LINGUAS is used by ./configure for
determining what language message catalogs should be built.  If you
are a developer or an installer, it's safe to leave LINGUAS unset.

I guess RedHat forks have misunderstood $LINGUAS.  The recent RedHat
distribution defined $LINGUAS as "en"..
