Bug Description

Currently, desktop-file-utils lists the snap store as the default handler for Debian packages:

$ grep debian /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
application/vnd.debian.binary-package=snap-store_ubuntu-software-local-file.desktop
application/x-debian-package=snap-store_ubuntu-software-local-file.desktop
$

However, as discussed at https://github.com/ubuntu/app-center/issues/1407 it does not, in fact, have support for handling these packages.

We should correct this so that handling of the packages falls through to something that actually does.

Thanks. We should remove those entries but they shouldn't create any visible issue because the referenced .desktop isn't provided by the current snap-store which make those entries just ignored. Marking as Wontfix for Noble, that's not worth a SRU upload
