apache2ctl should be able to use anything that provides
/usr/bin/www-browser. Something is wrong with your alternatives
setup. It should be like this:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/www-browser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 17  2005 /usr/bin/www-browser -> /etc/alternatives/www-browser

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/www-browser
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb  3 23:15 /etc/alternatives/www-browser -> /usr/bin/lynx.cur

You can try
update-alternatives --config www-browser

If lynx reproducibly does not set up that link correctly during
installation, then this is a bug in lynx.
