Hi, 

I think that the problem can be solved on Debian's side.

My actual konqueror (3.5.9.dfsg.1-5) sends "Accept-Language: fr,en", which, 
according to RFC2616 (HTTP1.1) [0], means that both french and english are 
_equally_ acceptable (Section 14.4) :

"If an Accept-Language header is present, then all languages which are 
assigned a quality factor greater than 0 are acceptable."

But debian.org answers weirdly :

HEAD -H "Accept-Language: %1,%2" http://www.debian.org

=>

%1      %2       Answer
fr      de       fr
de      fr       fr
fr      en       en-gb
en      fr       en-gb
fr      en;q=0.5 fr
de      -        de

It seems that there is sort of an internal priority list (en > fr > de) (which 
is OK, regarding the RFC).

My proposal is to render the correct language page according to the user's 
priority list (ordered list), instead of the server's.

But konqueror still has to be fixed to give a lower priority to english...

Regards,
