Public bug reported: I think xdg-utils should be listed as dependencies for both ubuntu- desktop and kubuntu-desktop (and probably others *ubuntu-desktops) thus allowing easier scripting portable scripts. This way I could issue xdg- open file.pdf to open a default PDF viewer, instead of managing a whole database of such in my tiny script.
