Okay, I see the problem now. I had to look for x-www-browser, obviously.
Need more sleep =)

After removing iceape there remained a broken symlink
/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser, after I removed it and made
update-alternatives --config x-www-browser everything returned back to
normal. I am retitling this bug and reassigning it to iceape.
