Yes, that command did indeed open the Debian homepage.

Answers below:

If I understand the system correctly, it should not matter whether the
string for the first two is "iceweasel %u" or "x-www-browser". Either
or both should work if the x-www.browser is set to iceweasel, as it is
in the box I am using. In fact setting both to "x-www-browser" should
be better, thereby leaving it up to the user to determine the browser
using update-alternatives to choose one.
So it would appear that it is an icedove problem. Is anyone else
experiencing this problem? Should a bug report be filed?
