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
