Missing 'where problems could occur' per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template
And I do see significant risk of problems; while the mime handler for
.deb files is incorrect, a diff of /etc/gnome/defaults.list vs
/usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list shows a number of
differences, including some types that are only handled in
/usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list. Given that shipping
/usr/share/applications/gnome-mimeapps.list was unintentional and it's
so soon after release we might accept wholesale dropping of the file,
however I would still want to see analysis of the impact.

Title:
.deb files open with Archive Manager by default
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in gnome-session source package in Jammy:

Status in desktop-file-utils package in Baltix:

Bug description:
Impact
------
Someone who downloads a .deb file usually wants to install the .deb when they
open it. Opening it with Archive Manager is really confusing.
Test Case
---------
Download a .deb
Open your Downloads folder with the file manager.
Double click on the .deb
The Ubuntu Software app should open with a button that says Install.
More Details
------------
desktop-file-utils provides /etc/gnome/defaults.list
In that file, there is this line (and several other lines also referring to
the same .desktop)
application/vnd.debian.binary-package=snap-store_ubuntu-software-
local-file.desktop
But when I look at /snap/snap-store/575/usr/share/applications/
there is gnome-software-local-file.desktop
which is a different file name.
I believe this issue can be fixed in either snap-store or with
desktop-file-utils.
