Package: www.debian.org If I load (for example) <http://packages.debian.org/sid/putty> with my Accept-Language string set to "en; q=1.0", then the page and the package description strings all appear in English, and if I load the page with Accept-Language set to "de; q=1.0, en; q=0.5", then the package description all appear in German, as expected. If, however, I have my Accept-Language set to "en; q=1.0, de; q=0.5", then I see the page in English but the package description strings in German.
This problem also appears for other languages, when packages have suitable translations available. For example, setting Accept-Language to "en; q=1.0, fr; q=0.5" causes <http://packages.debian.org/sid/libc0.1> to display in English, but with French package descriptions. The quality values are not being flat-out ignored, it is not a case of a value of 1.0 being ignored, and the problem is not positional: if I add a third language, setting Accept-Language to "de; q=0.3, en; q=0.9, fr; q=0.5", then I get most of the libc0.1 page in English but the descriptions are in French, and if I set it to "de; q=0.7, en; q=0.9, fr; q=0.4" gives most of the page in English and the package descriptions in German. Only if I set both the French and German quality values to zero do I get the package descriptions in English, even though the rest of the page displays in English with any setting where English outranks the other options. I first noticed this problem while using Firefox, but I have verified that it occurs using both w3m and lynx. There is no proxy in use.
