[Bug 709125] Re: User agent doesn't include Ubuntu in it so apt.ubuntu.com doesn't work

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

apt.ubuntu.com does not "deny access" to non-Ubuntu clients, and nobody
has suggested that it should. That's not the issue. The issue is that it
has to be able to display OS-dependent information: an installation
button for the relevant package if you're running Ubuntu, or if you're
running something else, information about Ubuntu and how to get it.

It's possible to tell whether a Web browser is running on Windows or
not, or on Mac OS X or not. If Firefox on Ubuntu makes it impossible for
us to tell whether it's running on Ubuntu or not, that's putting Ubuntu
at an unfair disadvantage.
