Many programs rely on libiconv support. Having to compile it on our own means to recompile a lot of things on every update.
Why is there no packet or has it a different name?

@M.Becerra lib-iconv-hook is something different. – Daniel W. Mar 31 '17 at 12:20

libiconv is included in the libc6 package as a GNU standard C library.
In case one needs the header files from originally libiconv-dev, use libc6-dev instead where the iconv header files are included.
