@eureka: I probably didn't make this clear enough. The 46 MB is what would only be required on the computer which produces the (Kindle) locale bundles. The advantage of having everything there in this manner are

The hosting ("package-producing") computer doesn't need to have all locales installed
The package-producing doesn't need to worry about how to compile individual locales, or dependencies
The Kindle doesn't need to compile anything, where it's unsure whether dependencies are satisfied or not
The locale bundle (produced by the package-producing computer) would simply include the relevant locale .tgz for the Kindle to use.
