Yes, I verified that by building the documentation several times (by
manually calling xsltproc, by calling makefile and by building the
package). I tested cs, fr and fi (seeing correctly all accents,
umlauts...).
However, it might be possible, that my terminal was already
broken by the iso-8859-1 sequences when viewing the original files.
I will try again later today when I get home.
The other issue is that when you want to view such README files
directly in aptitude (from the Help menu), you have to correctly
indicate the encoding in the .po file (there is the ability to specify
which README file shoud be used and what encoding it is in).

Thanks, this makes documentation in aptitude-doc-cs readable again.
