Huh? I was not talking about APT. I also don't think it's an apache
problem, I blame nginx for this crap.

I reported this bug here since I assumed that the maintainers here are
doing some basic QA work and can dispatch the issue accordingly.

And regarding multiview, see below. Even when I set Accept-Encoding: to
identity, this does not change a thing. You might argue that 
SHOULD!=MUST but it's still a broken way to handle this situation, IMHO.
