I've run systems without nls in the past and it works well, after all OUR
English is a native language ;-)
Seriously though, nls enables support for different character sets AFAIR.
I've been running with en-GB for years and haven't had the problems the
OP reported. For example, the shadow ebuild only includes the English man
page. As a kludge, you can use INSTALL_MASK to block installation of
other languages, but finding the cause of this behaviour would be
preferable.
