Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for taking so long to reply. Midori is getting back to life on Debian. I agree with the report, but I think the problem is bigger than it seems: the assignment of priorities for the alternatives system is, AFAIK, anarchic. For example, iceweasel has priority 70, but epiphany has priority 85. This doesn't reflect the popularity of each browser (which should be our guide when determining those numbers, IMHO). I will start a discussion (hopefully not a flamewar) on debian-devel about it, and try to reach consensus. Meanwhile, I'll leave this bug untouched.
