sensible-browser cannot process $BROWSER variable when it contains a whitespace character

[FA]

If path to a browser defined via the $BROWSER environment variable contains a whitespace character, running sensible-browser should launch browser defined by $BROWSER.

If path to a browser defined via the $BROWSER environment variable contains a whitespace character, running sensible-browser will not parse the whitespace characters and therefore not load the browser defined by $BROWSER.

Bug can be fixed by updating line 8 in /usr/bin/sensible-browser:
${BROWSER} "$@" > "${BROWSER}" "$@"

The sensible-utils package which provides the sensible-browser script is in sync with the version of the package in Debian. Would you mind forwarding this bug to Debian? Thanks in advance.
