Note that this was apparently fixed by Antoine Beaupré in commit
a909d0584b3ca8bde10717d7247eb7f1a3ef8b35 (in 0.71). However, dman
behavior was later modified in 0.74 after the following changes:
* dman: Offload suite and locale resolution to debiman. This optimizes the
case where there is a typo or no actual manpage, as we only do one hit
on the webserver.
* dman: use the dyn.manpages.debian.org alias to speed up requests even
more.
There seems to be a regression now, with the current code dman and
behaviour of manpages.debian.org non-localised pages are never
retrieved (based on my tests)
