Hi,

$BROWSER is conditionally ignored, and the condition is that COMMAND is set in the config file. It is set by default, so BROWSER is ignored by default.

More importantly:

I don't think that COMMAND should be commented by default. I think it should be set to sensible-browser by default.

More importantly, I still haven't heard a reason _not_ to use sensible-browser instead of www-browser as the default for COMMAND. I believe using sensible-browser not only solves my issue, but also addresses those issues raised at http://bugs.debian.org/212789.
