Are you sure?  The iconv data are actually copied in the appliance
(brought by glibc packages, usually) -- see also commit
e73cd348c8a2786b5e9874dd1f96cf7bc36412f2 which included them again.

A quick test here (on a sample file) using the `iconv` command line
tool in virt-rescue worked, and correctly converted the encoding.
