Just for comment, You don't have to specify the full path, localedef should 
know where to put it.

Yes. For the lazy :) admins, there is /etc/locales.build , where you can 
specify locales to be built on every libc upgrade. Mine looks like this:

# This file names the list of locales to be built when glibc is installed.
# The format is <locale>/<charmap>, where <locale> is a locale from the
# /usr/share/i18n/locales directory, and <charmap> is name of one of the files
# in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. All blank lines and lines starting with # are
# ignored. Here is an example:
# en_US/ISO-8859-1
ru_RU.UTF-8/UTF-8
ru_RU.CP1251/CP1251
he_IL.UTF-8/UTF-8

Backward-Compatible? Unlikely. My Gentoo upgrades typically wipe all 
manually-generated locales, that weren't specified in locales.build (err, 
wipe them all and regenerate the ones I tell them to), but your mileage may 
vary.
