Bug#585183: general: .deb packages open with Archive Manager by default, not Package Installer

[di <unik64@gmail.com>]

Package: general
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

In GNOME the default open action for when double-clicking on a .deb package is
to open with Archive Manager, which then complains 'Could not create the
archive: Archive type not supported.'

The context menu shows as the second option 'Open with GDebi Package
Installer', and I think it would be hard to argue against this being a better
default, especially seeing as archive manager can't understand .debs itself
from a clean install...
