What a Accept header is you browser sending? Mine sends
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
which works perfectly well.

Actually I was already pondering to provide some more documentation
for packages.debian.org but never actually got around to make that.
One should investigate the manuals first (like Debian reference) if
one can perhaps reduce this particular one to a link to existing text.
Patches welcome :)
