I used the Perl module Text::Iconv which itself uses iconv(3)
This module seems to suck or I am to dump to use it. If I convert the
raw Japanese Packages file with iconv(1) (which probably uses iconv(3),
too) all escape sequences seem to be generated correctly, if I use
Text::Iconv->convert, only the very first one is.
I will either try another Perl module or just preprocess the Packages
file...
