Bug Description

As per bug 777454, it would be great to determine the users Ubuntu version (or lack of) from the user-agent and do things like:

* only include "Install" link when user's distroseries matches displayed app
* Display "Not available for your version of Ubuntu" when appropriate
* Display "Scribus is also available for your version of Ubuntu" with a link to correct distroseries version.

It currently works when the browser specifies a UserAgent in the
request headers which includes the distroseries - currently (at least
for me) in Oneiric Chromium does this:

User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.10 Chromium/13.0.782.215 Chrome/13.0.782.215
Safari/535.1

but Firefox doesn't:

User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0

(Using Chromium's developer tools and FireBug respectively).
