Yes. The compare-locales script uses the en-US package to check what is 
missing in the locale package.

If you set them in the beginning en-US will pick them up which is not a good 
thing.

yes. It will be created if there are missing locales and used to fill the gaps 
with en-US strings.

This is more or less not well documented. I picked the steps from Adrian 
Kallas unofficial build files.
