There is indeed a problem with unzip, that forces some change of encoding without checking anything. The only solution is to use convmv for finding back the correct encoding. This is actually tricky, because a first convmv operation is needed to undo the automatic (incorrect) encoding change performed by unzip, then a second one for obtaining the correct encoding. The procedure is explained here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/unzip.html#unzip-locale-issues

Please note that this page is also giving access to a patch for unzip (from LFS), that adds an option for choosing the correct encoding. Would it be possible to include this patch in the Debian package ? It should solve this bug.

Thank you,
