task-(gnome|xfce|kde|lxde|mate)-desktop: iceweasel recommended

task-cinnamon-desktop depends upon cinnamon-desktop-environment
which recommends iceweasel

As far as I remember, gosa-desktop is a package providing a desktop meny
entry for starting a browser with the password change page of gosa to
make it easier for users to figure out how to change the password in
gosa.  To make sure this work it need a web browser.

IIRC they do. But besides Debian Edu gosa may be used as well by others 
(like LiMux).

why does gosa-desktop depend on any webbrowser at all, arent the desktop 
environments already depending on one?

Package: gosa-desktop
Version: 2.7.4+reloaded2-7
Severity: wishlist 
User: debian-...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: debian-edu

Hi,

during a Debian Edu main server test installation (w/o gui) I noticed 
that a lot of KDE related packages were installed although 'desktop=kde' 
had been additionally removed from the kernel command line.

The cause seems to be in the gosa-desktop.control Depends field:

Depends: [..] konqueror | iceweasel | mozilla | firefox [..]

The packages mozilla and firefox are unavailable in Debian.

Maybe 'iceweasel | konqueror | epiphany-browser | midori | chromium' 
would be a better fit for the Debian package.
