I think these are mostly separate because, in the bad old days,
certain large North American countries with multiple-word names
wouldn't allow cryptographic software to be exported, so lynx lived in
Debian main and lynx-ssl in non-US. That changed not too long before
the woody release, but the separate packages still exist.
You also might explore other Web browsers. For the console, there's
links and w3m, both of which I believe have better support for HTML
tables (and w3m has the scary image support in X). Under X, I
personally like Galeon, but there's also Mozilla and Konqueror, among
others.
