Actually, survey sits in the very same library with all other packages, and
boot (called from within a relaimpo function) works fine. 
I just fixed the encoding warning (adding "Encoding: latin1" to the
description file), and tried R CMD check once more. Surprisingly, the check
now also ran all examples without errors - I can only guess that there has
been an issue with a path with some nonstandard character in the way (though
survey is not located in such a path). Anyway, it works now.
