https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?archive=0;dist=unstable;ordering=normal;repeatmerged=0;src=netcf

doesn't look that bad. Not following includes is troublesome (#875762) but
shouldn't be too hard to fix. Can you file bugs for other issues you're
seeing? This would make it simpler to decide whether we disable netcf
support or fix the issues that are there.
