In the case of essentially graphical programs like the ones I'm thinking
of (e.g. “MuscleBook”), a pixel-based graphical browser would be
required. That means ‘xdg-open’ is better for this purpose.

So I would make a package that “Depends: xdg-utils”, and install a
simple ‘/usr/bin/musclebook’ shell script:

    #! /bin/sh

    exec xdg-open /usr/share/musclebook/index.html

Would that be fragile in some way? Is there something I am overlooking?
