Well, my idea was having this /usr/lib/locales-all/locales.tar.gz
packaged instead of the uncompressed files.

But then I wouldn't be able to reconfigure without downloading the
package again.

Uh... compiling took about... more than two hours? You'll need a miracle
to beat the one minute uncompressing process.
Don't worry about finishing this. I'm quite happy with my present scheme
and it's well described in this bug if anyone else interested.
Bye.
