I'm sorry, we can't add it.  /usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias does not
contain "breton".  Is "breton" is so famous and agreed-name for your
region?  This file should not use for personal favorite alias name.

This kind of bugs are sometimes reported, but in many case we don't
add it, instead we recommend to use "br_FR".  It's popular and
standardized at POSIX/SUS/Li18nux to use such locale style:
<language>_<region>.<codeset>@<extension> (ex:br_FR.ISO-8859-15@euro).

I think this wishlist will not be fixed - I would like to close it.
Is it ok?
