[Bug 2054625] [NEW] 20-unzip60-alt-iconv-utf8.patch maintainance

[Dominik Viererbe]

Public bug reported:

The 20-unzip60-alt-iconv-utf8.patch was recently updated [2]. This has raised 
long-term maintainance questions that should be addressed:

TODO: 
- upstream changes
- investigate origin of patch
- fix whitespace damage (mostly tailing whitespace, mixed space/tab)
- check follow on patch (e.g. [2])

For additional context see Christian Ehrhardt (paelzer) comment [3]
