Bug#662150: Please re-add alternative on gnome-www-browser, dropped in GNOME 3 metapackages

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:3.0+7
Severity: normal

The GNOME 2 metapackage gnome-core depended on epiphany-browser with an
alternative of gnome-www-browser; the latter allows the installation of
iceweasel instead.  The GNOME 3 version of gnome-core seems to have
dropped this alternative, depending only on epiphany-browser.  I looked
through the changelog, and I don't see any explicit note or explanation
about the removal of this alternative.  Please consider re-adding it.
(The justification seems identical to that for the curent dependencies on
"abiword | libreoffice-gnome" and similar.)

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
