When running ubuntu-bug and sending the bug report, the default web browser setting is ignored. It just launches Firefox, even I have set google-chrome as mine default browser.

$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[sudo] password for hynek:
There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser).
