Autobuilders don't even have "locales" installed by default, as it's
non-essential, so you certainly can't count on any specific locales being
there, no.  You can, however, generate the locales that you need and make
them available to you during your package build, with some trickery.  See
debian/locale-gen in the gcc-3.2 source package, for instance.
