Hi,

I don't want to add to the confusion, so I just reply to you. Feel to
forward if you think my email is constructive enough to be considered ;-)

Shouldn't the Debian way to determine web browser and system editor to use
the default binaries 'sensible-browser' and 'sensible-editor'?
I don't know if these binaries are policy or just a help, but perhaps, in
deed, it would allow to remove some dependencies (which, I think, is
always good, independent of all belief wars).

Just my 2 cents, Eric
