Public bug reported:

sensible-editor(1) in the ‘SEE ALSO’ section says:

  Documentation  of  the  EDITOR, VISUAL, PAGER, and BROWSER variables
in environ(7)

But environ(7) doesn't actually make any mention at all of BROWSER, so
looking there is of little help in determining how to set the preferred
browser, so that mention should be removed.

What would be useful is to document that sensible-browser by default
tries gnome-www-browser, x-www-browser, or www-browser (depending on
whether it's running under Gnome, X, or neither), and so the browser
choice can be set with update-alternatives(8).

Thanks.
