Bug#588990: libc-bin: iconv -l doesn't indicate aliases

[Neil Mayhew <neil_mayhew@users.sourceforge.net>]

Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.11.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


Previously, before the switch from glibc to eglibc, iconv -l would show all
the aliases for an encoding on the same line as the encoding. Now every
encoding, whether primary or an alias, is on a separate line.

POSIX doesn't specify the format of the output of iconv -l, but the previous
behavior was helpful, and I understand that eglibc is trying to be closely
compatible with glibc.
