for collation CLDR contains at least some rules for many locales, please
see the core package's [1] common/collation directory for examples.
For character maps I didn't find anything obviously related. It seems
that currently in glibc LC_CTYPE is identical (basically copying i18n
and including translit_combining) for almost every locale, I'm not sure
how correct that is.
