You make a very good point about the size of ubuntu-docs. Similar to option #2, how about instead having the lynx package include an html homepage as a very low priority alternative for /etc/alternatives/firefox-homepage. That way, if and when ubuntu-docs is installed, its supplied homepage will automatically take priority instead of the lynx supplied one.
I am not sure pointing to a real URL is a good idea. I could see some people might complain at this. -- lynx fails to start if ubuntu-docs is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
