the "kbd" package has a binary called /bin/open - it would not be very awesome to shadow that
xdg-open is probably better though, since it (AFAIK) falls back to sensible-browser if necessary like in a console, but uses more modern methods to select the program otherwise
& I think it would be best if any solution were implemented in Debian as well, to both get wider adoption and help prevent any hiccups if a future package takes over the generic name that is chosen
