I don't use SeaMonkey either, but I'm pretty sure it does not need root
privileges to run. :)
What command does is simply add an option to set "default something" for
a command "x-www-browser" system-wide.

"update-alternatives" could used for anything from switching between
your console editors to switching between multiple versions of compilers
or interpreters.
It is a standard way to do things like that on Linux systems not only on
Debian, but also on the others (CentOS, etc)
