I believe that doing something like this will change the preferences:
https://standards.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html
% echo -e "[Default Applications]\napplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document=libreoffice-writer.desktop" |sudo tee /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document=libreoffice-writer.desktop
But this clearly requires collaboration between a large set of
applications to produce a reasonable set of defaults.
Perhaps building a list of default applications by following the KDE
InitialPreference field or something similar would be good enough and
baking that into desktop-file-install or similar?
This might need to be raised more broadly on debian-devel. [I only
noticed this because it was breaking the ordering in /etc/mailcap.]
