Doesn't that leave a dangling "|" if you're building for Debian?

I'd suggest in debian/control something like:
   Depends: [...], ${browsers}

And then in debian/rules:
   ifneq ($(DEB_VENDOR),ubuntu)
   BROWSERS = "iceweasel"
   else
   BROWSERS = "iceweasel | abrowser"
   endif

   [...]

   dh_gencontrol -- -Vbrowsers=$(BROWSERS)
