Bug Description

dman can get manpages only in en_* locales.
In other locales (e.g. ja_JP.utf8), dman access the URL below and gets 404: Not Found error.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages.gz//maverick/ja_JP.utf8/man1/deja-dup.1.gz
The right URL is the line below. So dman should stripped out "_COUNTRY.utf8" string.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages.gz//maverick/ja/man1/deja-dup.1.gz

Besides there are unlocalised manpages.
So try getting localised version first, then if there is no localised version, fall back to generic locale.
