That's strange... More investigation is needed for your problem.
Could you please try the following commands?
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# update-alternatives --remove-all SKK-JISYO
# apt-get --purge remove skkdic
# apt-get --install skkdic
# dpkg -l dpkg
# dpkg -l skkdic
# ls -l /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO.L
(file should exist)
# ls -l /etc/alternatives/SKK-JISYO
(symlink should link to /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO.L)
# ls -l /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO
(symlink should link to /etc/alternatives/SKK-JISYO)

Hmm, /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO.cdb seems to be available on your
system with update-alternatives. SKK-JISYO.cdb to SKK-JISYO.L.cdb
is the same mechanism of SKK-JISYO to SKK-JISYO.L. I don't know
why only SKK-JISYO is problematic on your system.

Japanese characters in Unicode is supported by Emacs 22 and later.
In Debian Sid, emacs-snapshot is available.
In Debian Etch or Sarge, for emacs21, Mule-UCS is needed to use
Japanese in Unicode, so install the mule-ucs package and see
`/usr/share/doc/mule-ucs/README.Debian' to enable Mule-UCS-Unicode.
A simple configuration for Japanese in Unicode and UTF-8 terminal
on emacs21 is as follows.
(un-define-debian)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
BTW, to ask questions for Japanese on Debian, please mail
debian-japanese mailing list (in English or Japanese) or Debian JP
users mailing list (in Japanese).
