In Jaunty, the situation is different. "eo" as locale doesn't exist any more in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, since it is malformed (no country). Since a locale defines date formats, currencies, address formats, etc., they are always country specific. So ideally there would be more eo_* locales available for more countries.

As it stands, current locales have eo_US which resolves the install-language-locales confusion described above, and "eo" (for backwards compatibility, I think). However, the eo_US locale does not actually work:

$ sudo apt-get install language-pack-eo
[...]

Generating locales...
  eo_US.UTF-8... LC_ADDRESS: terminology language code `eo' not defined
