x-www-browser - manual mode
  link currently points to /usr/bin/iceweasel
/usr/bin/chromium - priority 40
/usr/bin/chromium-browser - priority 40
/usr/bin/conkeror - priority 20
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/conkeror.1.gz
/usr/bin/iceweasel - priority 70
  slave x-www-browser.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/iceweasel.1.gz
