Should have been clearer on my previous post, the dpkg command is for
use after locale-gen.

Missed the part where you ran localedef until I reread the post.
localedef is looking for the following, from example in man page:

EXAMPLES

Compile the locale files for Finnish in the UTF-8 character set
and add
it to the default locale archive with the name fi_FI.UTF-8:

localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_FI fi_FI.UTF-8

Where:
localedef [options] outputpath

and outpath with --no-archive is by default /usr/lib/locale
otherwise outpath is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
