Converting EUC-JP -> UTF-8 -> EUC-JP is known to give output in some cases that does not match the input. Unless we have some way to fix the mapping tables in iconv, the only way to reasonably use UTF-8 for Japanese in Debian is by eliminating one leg of this round-trip -- e.g., by asking all Japanese translators to use a UTF-8 locale for their translation work.
