[Bug 1873658] Re: Deb Files are not associated with an application that manages packages

[Iain Lane]

We discussed this a bit amongst the release team, and there was a
concern that this might not work properly for flavours - which I think
that Ken believes is fine, but it would be good to actually verify
explicitly.

So please could you flesh out the description to fit the SRU template,
and add a test case which makes sure to check all of these mime types
for flavours which still seed gnome-software (e.g. boot live session,
install -proposed update, try to open each of those mime types).

  When you download a DEB file within 20.04 Ubuntu Beta and you double
  click it the file is opened by the archive manager.  I would expect
  the installer to open the file just like in previous versions of
  Ubuntu.
