Package: libtext-iconv-perl
Version: 1.7-5+b1
Severity: wishlist

GNU libiconv is needed to get transliteration, as described in the
Text::Iconv(3pm) man page. Text::Iconv should be built with it.

Otherwise one gets an error:

------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use Text::Iconv;

my $converter = Text::Iconv->new("utf8", "ascii");
$converter->get_attr("transliterate");
------------------------------------------------------------

gives:

iconvctl (needed for get_attr()) not implemented on this architecture
