I agree with both Zack and Didier here. Maybe the best way forward is to have backports activated by default (there's already a patch available for that, not sure if it has been applied to d-i yet). Then when installing a desktop (since backports are now fully part of Debian), we could provide browsers from there (maybe as a Recommends:, so it isn't forced into our users ?). Thoughts?
