Perhaps the reason is that proxies don't care about the accepted languages?
For example some other Debian users in my LAN don't linke to speak or
read in english (I can't understand that, but...) so they set their language
to DE. The result is that whenever I access www.de.debian.org I get presented
a *german* page while I want to check out the english one.
My proxy is squid <2.0
