If I understand things correctly, I think a solution would be to have tons of locale-XX packages, where XX stands for the country code, the contents of which are created by calls to localedef. And maybe a package locales-all for people who have space and do not wish to choose. And a search path definition in glibc to set LOCPATH. What do you think? To me, it sounds like a good idea. I have never liked the debian way where the locales are compiled at install time.
