Ok, thak you. I have only checked that unix2dos converts one way.
But, anyway, it is unexpected behavior.

Not really. Look at both packages in eix, they have vastly different
version numbers but they both have the same homepage:
In 2010 the two separate dos2unix and unix2dos packages have been
bundled into a single dos2unix package (version 5.0). Support for
Unicode UTF-16 was added in 2012 (version 6.0).
Visualize the name as having - instead of 2 :-)
From a first glance, I'd guess that unix2dos has been obsolete
(superceded?) for 4 years and should be removed from the tree

Yes, I have already looked at that page and have the same impression as you.
And the same conviction that in this case unix2dos should be removed from
the portage tree, as well. :)
