Lynx or other text browsers will not do it, Dillo supported images but was really fast and light. Why was it omitted and how can I get a .deb for it? I do not want Epithany  - I just as well would use FireFox. Dillo occupied a niche...why was that choice taken away?

You are correct. Dillo was removed from the repositories starting with
Ubuntu 9.10. I suspect the reason was the stalled development.
