Hi,

Translated manpages of po-debconf package don't have any accent.

The problem occurs when generated pod files (utf8) are converted to man
format with pod2man.

== Part of french generated man page ==

..SH "NOM"
..IX Header "NOM"
po-debconf \- Introduction
..SH "DESCRIPTION"
..IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
L'objectif de \f(CW\*(C`debconf\*(C'\fR e\*'tait de rendre la
configuration de paquets
                                        ^^^^^^^
== end ==

This causes also an issue with the "apropos" command. Tries
$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 apropos debconf

I think pod files should be converted to latin1 before pod2man
conversion or you should use the -utf8 switch of pod2man (tested with $
pod2man -utf8 po-debconf.7.pod | man -l -) to generate correct man
pages (see pod2man manpage for pod "encoding" flag).
