Hi Jörg Frings-Fürst, I noticed https://sources.debian.org/src/xsane/0.999-12/debian/control/#L31 , which has xsane to recommend firefox | www-browser. However, package firefox will not appear in Debian Testing/Stable, causing the installation of xsane to fall back to www-browser and results in an unexpected selection of www-browser. One of the most recent report can be found in [1], in which the LXQt ydesktop environment automatically brings in hv3 as the installed web browser. Hv3 is a very outdated web browser choice, and this shall never happen in a sane environment: aptitude why hv3 i task-lxqt-desktop Recommends xsane i A xsane Recommends firefox | www-browser i A hv3 Provides www-browser I believe the best solution shall be replacing the Recommends: line with firefox-esr | firefox | www-browser to ensure that the first choice is always available, no matter on Debian Testing/Stable/Sid/etc. If possible, I am looking to having this fix backported to Debian 12 as well. Please let me know if you have any comments. Thanks! Best, Boyuan Yang [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1dw2yk8/hv3_web_browser/
