I think not all occurrences of non NFC are necessarily an error,
for example de_DE contains:
LC_CTYPE
copy "i18n"
translit_start
include "translit_combining";""
% German umlauts.
% LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS.
<U00C4> "<U0041><U0308>";"<U0041><U0045>"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NFD but this is apparently on purpose
