There are some packages which care about more details of the locale, for a variety of good and bad reasons (I've seen ones that naïvely decompose it and try to use the language part as a directory name, for instance), and those are more difficult to handle. If this is done at build-time then I would normally suggest build-depending on locales (not locales-all) and using localedef to generate a temporary locale for the course of the build.
One gotcha with generating locales is that locales-all has "Provides: locales", but it does not include all the data localedef(1) needs. You either need to make the build-dependency versioned, or <advert>use localehelper[0] instead of localedef.</advert>
