Bug Description
The xdg-open shim is placed in /usr/local/
PATH should include /local/ variants to make the shim work.

I dislike the idea that packaging-owned files are being placed in /usr/local/ -- this has historically been entirely uncontrolled by all distros and left for administrators to do as they wish.
We don't want to overwrite local changes. We should use snap-specific paths when the more customary /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin aren't appropriate.
Thanks
