No, I doubt that this can be an upstream bug as upstream does not
support/provide C.UTF-8. It is an addition in Debian and some other
distributions.

Write a short script that reproduces the problem, and attach it to a
mail that explains what you want to do, what you expect the script to
output, and what the actual output is. Sen report the problem to
one of:
* upstream: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html
* Debian: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/
I would expect this to be an upstream bug, and that it would faster to
get it fixed by reporting it upstream.

problem with libc6 / iconv
Hi,
node-iconv used to be able to translit utf-8 chars (ça va) to ascii (ca va)
using setlocale("C.UTF-8") trick.
However, several libc6 version ago, that behavior changed, to the point
node-iconv fails its tests now.
I've failed to work around that, and i'm lacking libc6 knowledge to fix it,
or even properly report a bug about that. Please help me !
Regards,
Jérémy
