Title:
  Please re-add [pm]mnormalize

Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Debian packaging contains these lines:
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/rsyslog/-/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L43

    --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

  But later on liblognorm was re-added:

    * Re-add build-dependency on liblognorm-dev, also needed for
      rsyslog-kubernetes.

  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:
