GNOME Epiphany -> Web package branding and default inclusion in Debian GNOME

Dear enthusiasts,

First of all, it seems the Epiphany name has disappeared entirely out
of the application. The packages should be rebranded to gnome-web?

Second, why is this browser no longer installed by default in the
Debian GNOME environment?  I recall both Iceweasel (Firefox) and
Epiphany being installed on Debian in the past, now it is just Firefox.

Firefox is no longer just a browser, it is pretty much trying to be an
operating system within an application (14,045,424 lines of code) and I
would really like to see more devotion to browsers that try to be a
browser like GNOME Web (50,611 lines of code) and Midori (62,852 lines
of code).

Can we please make GNOME Web installed by default when using the GNOME
environment?

Sincerely yours,
Frederique
