And when I say doesn't work, I mean that it brings a popup box saying 

   Could not open the address "http://www.debian.org": There was an
error launching the default action command associated with this
location.

OK - that fixes my immediate problem - thanks. 

I'd still see it as a bug though. I have decided that I want to use
iceweasel, and I don't have epiphany installed - so surely it should
fall back to iceweasel, rather than failing.
