A older article based on Fedora 7 at

Most of the content still applies. The process is better these days.

You take the srpms, add your patches, bump the version number and 
rebuild the packages. Put them in a separate directory, run createrepo 
on them which will create a yum repository. Point to your custom 
repository along with the existing Fedora repository. Run pungi (for 
regular installation images) or livecd-creator (for live cd/dvd) or use 
revisor for a graphical wrapper around both.


Jesse Keating, release engineer for Fedora has a video/presentation 
talking about the basic concepts behind this

From the dpkg-reconfigure message:

snip
Many packages in Debian use locales to display text in the correct
language for users. You can change the default locale if you're not a
native English speaker. These choices are based on which locales you
have chosen to generate.
