When I export a list with custom permissions no token for default RoleDefinition is set for the RoleDefinition attribute

<pnp:BreakRoleInheritance CopyRoleAssignments="false" ClearSubscopes="false">
<pnp:RoleAssignment Principal="{associatedownergroupid}" RoleDefinition="Lezen" />

<pnp:RoleAssignment Principal="{associatedownergroupid}" RoleDefinition="{roledefinition:Reader}" />
</pnp:BreakRoleInheritance>

Research direction
Start at the implementation of the Export-PnPListToSiteTemplate cmdlet and trace how custom list permissions serialize RoleDefinition values. Reproduce the issue with a list using a built-in RoleDefinition, then verify that the exported template uses the expected roledefinition token instead of the localized name.
