Subject: polymake: recommends iceweasel which is not in unstable
Package: polymake
Version: 4.15-2+b3
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package polymake recommends iceweasel, which is currently
not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/iceweasel

iceweasel was removed from Debian in 2016, rebranded/replaced by
firefox.

If polymake tries to open a website, I think that would make sense to
use as recommends "firefox-esr | sensible-utils" and then use
"sensible-browser" from the package sensible-utils.

If polymake tries to use firefox specifically in some way: then
recommending "firefox | firefox-esr" I guess that would make sense.

Thank you for your time,
