dwww in old setting with older apache used to publish web page to
non-local machine.  So browser was not needed.  Now for security
concern, we limit to local as default. 

links | www-browser
 * this is very much intended
 * user has to manually enable apache CGI module.
 * The default access is limited to local
 * So having browser is a almost must

--> Valid objection: Why links 
                     Why not firefox-esr:
             true but tried to be minimal change

dpkg-www
 * dpkg-www recommends dwww
 * CGI script is the same situation: require local
 * not much loss of resource and help user via local web which is
   accessed via clicking desktop icon.

--> Valid objection: Yah but ...: true

doc-debian
  * Nice to have as a part of links
  * not much loss of resource and help user via local web to know
    what Debian is

--> Valid objection: Yah but ...: true
