I just reread http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/epiphany-browser
and http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/iceweasel . The first is sub-titled
"Intuitive GNOME web browser". Without your advice I would refrain from
attempting to use it in LXDE. Neither page addresses the questions of "why
use this browser?" or "which browser for me?".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers helps but
something specific to Debian is needed.
Also I read http://wiki.debian.org/WebBrowsers . It gives links but no
comparisons. Appears that the page could have a discussion or feature
matrix to help with choice. If anyone knows of such a document, please
give the link.

FWIIW you've suggested another possibility for operating
Linux from Oberon. Interesting.
Two or three years back someone advised me to "get with it"
and use aptitude. Everyone has favourite tools. Certainly
the interface of aptitude is good in the sense of user
oriented and task oriented.
