Bug description:
  Hi,

  On Ubuntu 20.04 ( default flavor, and Budgie, maybe other else )

  when clicking on a .deb it's file-roller that gets launched by
  default, instead of an expected .deb installer ( be it through gnome-
  software-local-file.desktop or any package-manager ).

  Some references :
  ⋅ https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/deb-packages-open-via-zip-file-manager-by-default/3963https://itsfoss.com/cant-install-deb-file-ubuntu/

  So this bug already affects many users.
