AFAIUI this is the reason why virtual packages have been introduced. 
You cannot - and definitely should not - alternatively depend on each 
and every webbrowser in Debian (or ubuntu), but every webbrowser 
should do "Provides: x-www-browser". So all you have to do is depend 
on the default webbrowser and on the virtual package alternatively, 
e.g. "Depends: iceweasel | x-www-browser" or even "Depends: iceweasel 
| abrowser | x-www-browser" to also cover the ubuntu case.

Cheers,
Fabian
