You don't need to:

  lakeview ok % nm -D /lib/libc.so.6 | grep iconv
  000000000001f3c0 T iconv
  000000000001f570 T iconv_close
  000000000001f1a0 T iconv_open

iconv is built into glibc, so Debian systems come with it out of the
box.  The GNU libiconv is only useful for those systems that don't come
with one or come with one that is very limited.  There's really no
reason that a Debian system should ever need a separate libiconv.
