SJIS is a bit complicated as I understand. (At least beyond me.)

I never used sjis on Debian but I used big5conv in my package (debiandoc-sgml). The current version is capable to handle UTF-8 encoded Japanese to build latex source and ps and pdf. So as long as you use eucjp or utf-8, at least it is usable. I admit it is not trivial.
