Makes sense, I'll do that in the belocs-locales-data package.
Do you believe that an eo_EO alias should also be provided, or do
you want only one eo_* locale available?

In order for this locale to be available, it must be added to
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED.  Are these entries correct?
  eo_XX UTF-8
  eo_XX.ISO-8859-3 ISO-8859-3

Ok.  BTW did you file a bugreport to upstream bugzilla?  The only
reference I could find is
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-07/msg00142.html
but this locale won't be included in glibc if it does not get through
bugzilla.

Some remarks about your locale:
 * In LC_IDENTIFICATION, language is the 2-letter ISO 639 language code.
 * In LC_NAME, %d is not defined, it should certainly be %p instead,
 * In LC_ADDRESS, lang_lib is the 3-letter abbreviation from ISO 639-2.
Any objection against this patch?
