So would most people, although the intent is to also install the default
gnome web browser, for users who want a complete gnome experience.

The gnome-desktop-environment depends on
epiphany-browser (>= 1.8.5) | galeon (>= 1.3.1 8) | firefox-gnome-support | mozilla-firefox-gnome-support

1.8.5 is a newer version of epiphany-browser than is available in
testing (1.8.3-4), so aptitude falls back to the alternate, galeon.

This should clear itself up once a newer epiphany-browser reaches
testing. OTOH, I think that the gnome-desktop-environment dependency is
also asking for trouble in putting galeon as the first alternate for
epiphany-browser here; I suggest moving firefox-gnome-support closer to
the front of the alternatives list.
