Here is the output of the setting on my machine:
debian:/home/michael# update-alternatives --display x-www-browser
x-www-browser - status is auto.
link currently points to /usr/bin/iceweasel
/usr/bin/iceweasel - priority 70
slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/iceweasel.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/iceweasel.

Thanks.
