Comment # 17 on bug 1162654 from Christophe Giboudeaux

The edict package does this:

# transcode some files
for i in edict.gz enamdict.gz kanjd212.gz kanjidic.gz kradfile.gz radkfile.gz;
do
    gzip -cd "$i" | iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8 >"$d/${i%.gz}"

It may be worth mentioning the reason for reverting the symlink creation in the
kiten package
