Advice for a bug report



The debian bug reporting system webpage wrote to e-mail this list for advice regarding against which package a bug should be reported, so here goes . . .

I had decided to:
    apt-get -s purge iceweasel* firefox*


But apt-get insisted:
   The following extra packages will be installed:
       iceape iceape-browser iceape-chatzilla

So I thought I would out-wit apt-get:
   apt-get -s purge iceweasel* firefox* iceape iceape-browser iceape-chatzilla

But apt-get was ready:
   The following extra packages will be installed:
       epiphany-browser epiphany-browser-data epiphany-gecko

Now, dig this:
    apt-get -s purge iceweasel* firefox* iceape iceape-browser iceape-chatzilla epiphany-browser epiphany-browser-data epiphany-gecko

Apt-get responds:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  alacarte apg evolution-data-server folks-common galeon galeon-common gconf-service gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 gir1.2-caribou-1.0
  gir1.2-folks-0.6 gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-gee-1.0 gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 gir1.2-mutter-3.0 gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0

My guess is that this is a bug somewhere in the 'alternatives' system, and that it is (against my wishes) trying to force me to have a graphical browser installed.

Against what package should I file the bug? (FWIW - debian wheezy)
