Got some more here: It seems that the problem is the redirect that is
done when getting packages.debian.org/<package>. I found that
urlutils.urlopen and urlutils.open_url were called only with that URL,
even though the finally returned file-like object (called page in
get_available_versions) returns the following as url [1]:
http://pdo.debian.net/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=<package>
So I checked with curl --compress -v http://pdo.debian.net/reportbug and
I got a 302. Now I couldn't find any place in urlutils where you handle
that HTTP code, so I guess this is urllib2.
The problem then is that the request for the new url (the long one)
doesn't get the Accept-Encoding header, but the result is still put into
a gzip object. I'm still working on a small test app that uses urllib2
to retrieve the page to check wether it really is the culprit...
