I was also surprised that epiphany wasn't installed by default. To be sure this is a *bug* (now I consider it for the reason below), I installed a Debin etch with KDE via the full CD image [1]. Indeed, on KDE Konqueror is installed by default and it's the default browser (i.e. the one present in the status bar). Thus, I don't understand why Debian GNOME should rely on Iceweasel. > Can anyone in debian-boot confirm that the aptitude behaviour leads to > epiphany not being installed?

I'd suggest both (i.e. DE's browser and Iceweasel), as it's the case for Debian KDE. The user will have the epiphany icon on the GNOME panel, but Iceweasel will still be available in the GNOME menu.
