This bug was fixed in the package budgie-desktop-environment - 0.14.0

---------------
budgie-desktop-environment (0.14.0) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Enforce asking when deleting and moving to trash so that
    inadvertent deleting files is not possible
  * Remove shutdown/logout/restart/suspend desktop overrides
  * Turn off gedit highlight since this is broken with dark
    themes
  * Install budgie-desktop defaults.list to ensure
    our standard applications are associated with the
    correct file-extensions - this overrides ubuntu's
    defaults.list which has different apps and thus
    wrong defaults (LP: #1889317)

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/3963
  ⋅ https://itsfoss.com/cant-install-deb-file-ubuntu/

  So this bug already affects many users.
