Hey, I eventually tracked down a problem I had to this package. I ended up being surprised by update-alternatives priority being higher than other browsers' since "surf" didn't obviously seem like a standalone browser (and for example, "tabbed" isn't even registered as one).

Do you have any idea who I should talk to about getting it changed, or much more importantly, whether the problem is with my expectations?

Adding in CC the original reporter so he can put some more information
if required.

I grepped through the lintian laboratory looking for all browser registering x-www-browser alternative. Here are the results:
netsurf             100
konqueror           100
epiphany-browser    85
iceape              80
iceweasel           70
links2              69
surf                50
midori              50
dillo               50
rekonq              40
chromium-browser    40
chimera2            30
conkeror            20
uzbl                10
luakit              10

Priority 50 for this browser doesn't look completely crazy: there are other niche browser with equal or even higher priority. The only "mainstream" browser with lower priority is Chromium. Perhaps Chromium priority should be bumped instead.

Thoughts? See also bug #630390.
