This was sort of an aptitude bug; at that point, it shouldn't have been
installing UTF-8 manual pages. However, man-db 2.5.0 begins the
migration to UTF-8 manual pages, and in Hardy the Czech versions of
aptitude(8) and groupmod(8) both display more or less properly. (Some
accented characters in aptitude(8) are displayed as their nearest ASCII
equivalents; this is ultimately due to lack of Unicode input support in
groff, which is actively being worked on.)

Once I release man-db 2.5.1 in a few weeks' time, we'll begin the
migration to UTF-8 manual pages in Debian in earnest. I'm not sure if
this will land in time for Hardy, but at this point that shouldn't
matter too much; your basic problem is fixed.

I've filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459776
asking for a Czech-speaking developer to package the set of Czech manual
pages you mentioned.
