  How about using

 I'm sorry, but I cannot find a gnome-www-browser script in Debian.  Do
 you have more information?

gnome-www-browser is an alternative that defaults to epiphany. The one
that is a script is sensible-browser.

Also, there’s bound to be an issue at some point if the GConf default is
set to sensible-browser and if sensible-browser looks for the GConf
default…

Good question. It is /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser which is links to
/etc/alternatives/gnome-www-browser which is link
to /usr/bin/iceweasel or /usr/bin/epiphany-gecko (depending
of update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser configuration.

So my first statment isn't exactly correct.

Probably gnome should additionally ship /usr/bin/gnome-preffered-www-browser
and register as default as alternative for gnome-www-browser,
mayby with fallback mechanism if gconf key isn't present (very rare)

this gconf key which I posted in first is changed by
System-Preference-Preffered applications utility 
(/usr/bin/gnome-default-applications-properties)

Currently for example syplheed mail client on default lanuches sensible-browser,
which detects that we are using X and Gnome, so it launches gnome-www-browser,
which launches epiphany on default. This completly ignores fact that
i have configured Opera or anything in gnome-default-applications-properties.
Of course in sylpheed's preferences one can change external command which
is used for http URL's but for most users it's not so simple.

Regards,
Witek
