Why? It's doing that it is intended to do.

That is not new. That is there since ~ 3.5 years...

Just because it is the first alternative. As the reportbug info you 
posted said itself:

pn  firefox-esr | epiphany-browser | konqueror | chromium | fire <none>

firefox-esr OR epiphany-browser OR konqueror OR chromium OR firefox

(thought that list probably should be reordered?)


Why is this? Becuase the help DOES need a X  (well, JavaScript-capable, 
and the nongui browsers can't) browser. Without that there would be an 
error (or even worse: nothing happen) when opening the help.


One might argue it can be a Recommends: (then only people who don't 
install recommends per default don't get it, but....)


Regards,


Rene
