The following entries have non-trivial settings, it may be worth keeping
them:
  Malagasy;1;mg_MG;mg_MG.UTF-8;mg;MG;mg_MG:fr_FR:fr:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Northern Sami;1;se_NO;se_NO.UTF-8;se;NO;se_NO:nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:da:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun(utf8)
  Norwegian Bokmaal;1;nb_NO;nb_NO.UTF-8;nb;NO;nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:da:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Norwegian Nynorsk;1;nn_NO;nn_NO.UTF-8;nn;NO;nn_NO:nn:no_NO:no:nb_NO:nb:da:sv:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Portuguese;1;pt;pt_PT.UTF-8;pt;PT;pt_PT:pt:pt_BR:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
Or change them into
  Malagasy;1;mg_MG;mg_MG.UTF-8;mg;MG;mg_MG:fr_FR;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Northern Sami;1;se_NO;se_NO.UTF-8;se;NO;se_NO:nb_NO:no_NO:nn_NO:da:sv;kbd=lat0-sun(utf8)
  Norwegian Bokmaal;1;nb_NO;nb_NO.UTF-8;nb;NO;nb_NO:no_NO:nn_NO:da:sv;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Norwegian Nynorsk;1;nn_NO;nn_NO.UTF-8;nn;NO;nn_NO:no_NO:nb_NO:da:sv;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
  Portuguese;1;pt;pt_PT.UTF-8;pt;PT;pt_PT:pt_BR;kbd=lat0-sun16(utf8)
