Comment 4 for bug 120833

Hi Emanuele,

Thanks for your attention to this issue. I hope you won't mind if I attempt to defend my position:

This is a usability issue with the default configuration that would be easy to fix. Using sensible-browser is standard practice for Debian systems, and saves users from having to customize configuration files for every package out there that might want to launch a WWW browser.

Mentioning the bug in the man page doesn't make it not a bug, does it?

The default configuration should either use sensible-browser, or not specify COMMAND at all, for the sake of honoring user preferences.
