| Of course, this works, but it is not LHS-compatible, and so Debian
| will not do it automatically.  Rather, the Debian convention (which
| update-alternatives enforces) is to link /usr/bin/www-browser to
| /etc/alternatives/www-browser always.  /etc/alternatives/www-browser is
| another symbolic link, which the administrator can point to mozilla, or
| whatever.  (This can and should be done through update-alternatives(8)
| rather than manually).  The point is that to change the target of
| www-browser does not require the administrator to touch /usr, which is
| not meant to contain configuration and which the administrator should
| not change except in /usr/local.
| 
| Note that changes to /usr will not be preserved through upgrades,
| except when they are done through the debian system (dpkg-divert,
| dpkg-statoverride).

Thanks to all and especally to Hendrik and Andrew and Paulo...
I've solved the problem with ... galternatives... to point
/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser to /usr/bin/mozilla.
