Currently, (AFAIUI) compare-locales can only compare a translation against en-US to determine its level of completeness. However, there are cases where a locale might find it more beneficial to fall back to a locale other than en-US (see bug 678996, for example), and they should be able to do that.
We're not going to invest resources on compare-locales' merge logic to use a different source than en-US. We're investing on Fluent, and that fall backs at run-time with a chain of languages (e.g. bug 1410923).
