Uh... no? Maybe? I don't know? For users and system admins and most
programmers, they're just irrelevant.
I, like, literally have *no* idea what files the locale information
is stored in. I don't need to know. Nobody needs to know this except
the people creating the Debian locales package(s).
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to create a program with i18n/l10n support?
Are you trying to figure out what directories you can mount as shared
remote read-only file systems?
Are you trying to modify one of the Debian locales?
