Hi Edmund,
   So, we just have to add eo_EO (or EO_XX) to 
glibc-2.3.2/localedata/locales/SUPPORTED so users can set theire locale 
with dpkg-reconfigure locales. I've do not done more than that (just add 
eo.po, not well traduced). But changing few byte in a source package 
need recompilation of the package... and locales are part of libc6, who 
is a *big* package.
   So I think this is a minor patch to libc6 (ie locales).

btw, what's are differences between eo_EO you've write and Bertil 
Wennergren's one (eo_XX) ? I've just took Bertil one because it is more 
recent (2002-08-26 vs 2001-03-29)
