With an existing XXX.deb (one that you wanted to open), what does (on
the command line)
	xdg-mime query filetype XXX.deb
say?

In my case it is
	application/vnd.debian.binary-package

After that, what does
	xdg-mime query default $(xdg-mime query filetype XXX.deb)
say?

In my case it is
	org.kde.discover.desktop

This is a problem of mime type associations, and this is - honestly
spoken - completely broken in Debian at the moment. THere is work going
on but I am not sure how far this has proceeded.

Best

Norbert
