Aside from an advisory a read in the general news a week prior, with no 
schedule attached, there was no notification. The update itself, listed 
'Iceweasel'.

There's much more than a symlink involved.
The installation happened on two machines: on the laptop, it failed to 
find the main bookmark menu, and as that was the first update, that went 
west. I backed up the bookmarks file on the PC, but it found that.

Regarding symlinks (multiple), there's nothing to link www-browser, or 
dochelp, and probably others. I'm still checking. But it definitely 
doesn't like Liferea, either, even after reinstalling RSS links.
Cheers!
