It is my understanding that fancy package management tools that I
don't use myself (like aptitude, synaptic, etc) can search for
packages that Provide 'www-browser', or for packages with Tag
'web::browser'. Maybe somebody familiar with such fancy tools can
chime in and explain how to do this.
Myself, I search for web browser packages like so:
$ apt-cache search web browser | grep -i 'web.*browser'
What you want is a list of package that "provide" the www-browser
virtual package. The only way I currently know to get this is:
apt-cache showpkg www-browser | sed '1,/Reverse Provides/d'
