(Resending to 500345 at bugs.debian.org as I screwed up the cc)

Hi again,

From reading your bug report again, it seems I was wrong. 

You have iceweasel-gnome-support installed, which should register itself
as gnome-www-browser, but doesn't. 

It seems this part of the package was dropped when it was turned into a
dummy package to drag in xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support (it still
advertises this with a Provides though).

So this should either be added back to iceweasel-gnome-support, or
solved in some other way.


I'm cc'ing Eric Dorland who maintains these packages. Let's see if you
can tempt him with your offer of stroopwafels :)
