The search for enabled services in /etc/nsswitch.conf breaks when

Interestingly, I cannot reproduce this on unstable (I generated the
proper locale and use LC_ALL instead of LANG to override all LC_*
variables I had set), also minimising the problem doesn't show this
issue:
echo "shadow: " | LC_ALL=C sed -n
's/^[[:space:]]*\([a-z]*\)[[:space:]]*:.*/\1/p'
echo "shadow: " | LC_ALL=sv_SE.UTF-8 sed -n
's/^[[:space:]]*\([a-z]*\)[[:space:]]*:.*/\1/p'
(both return the same output for me)
Indeed, something has changed between buster and bookworm, probably the
locale. So, depending on the unpacking order, this may not even affect
all upgrades from buster to bookworm.
Anyway, I'll change the maintainer scripts to force the C locale so we
have consistent rexex processing by sed, grep and other tools.
Thank you again.
