You need to specify the url(s) used. Most, but not all, of the Debian
pages should handle en-us and en-gb just as en (due to the symlinks
Josip mentioned). Other variants, such as en-ca (alone with no valid
secondary choice) will return the smallest variant. It was random luck
that pr was the smallest variant for the pages you viewed.
