Re: show-bugs script: show release-critical bugs on installed packages

Hmm, w3m... I prefer lynx and, as such, w3m is not installed. So perhaps it
should use lynx or www-browser. Which brings up something else: the default
here for www-browser is mozilla-firebird. I noticed this recently when
apt-listchanges wouldn't display the changelogs. :-|

Do any other graphical browsers abuse www-browser in this way, and what
severity should bug reports concerning this have? (I suspect "important",
since it can be worked around with update-alternatives --config.)
