** Description changed:

  The Debian packaging contains these lines:
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L43
  
- 		--enable-pmnormalize \
- 		--enable-mmnormalize \
+   --enable-pmnormalize \
+   --enable-mmnormalize \
  
  AFAIK these were removed because liblognorm was in universe:
  
-     - Drop [mm|pm]normalize modules, depending on liblognorm from universe.
-       + d/rules: drop --enable-mmnormalize & --enable-pmnormalize
-       + d/control: drop build dependency on liblognorm-dev
-  -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxx>  Wed, 29 Dec 2021 17:15:17 -0800
+     - Drop [mm|pm]normalize modules, depending on liblognorm from universe.
+       + d/rules: drop --enable-mmnormalize & --enable-pmnormalize
+       + d/control: drop build dependency on liblognorm-dev
+  -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxx>  Wed, 29 Dec 2021 17:15:17 -0800
  
  But later on liblognorm was re-added:
  
-   * Re-add build-dependency on liblognorm-dev, also needed for
-     rsyslog-kubernetes.
-  -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxx>  Thu, 30 Dec 2021 07:22:05 +0000
+   * Re-add build-dependency on liblognorm-dev, also needed for
+     rsyslog-kubernetes.
+  -- Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxx>  Thu, 30 Dec 2021 07:22:05 +0000
  
  So these very useful modules are now excluded from the build for no reason.
  Please re-enable them as they're needed in order to receive logs from switches that send non-standard dates, for example:
  
  https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/5148#issuecomment-1568687769
+ 
+ ##ADDED 2025/9/24
+ Also a customer requested us to bring those modules back to utilize advanced configurations.
