Bug Description
In Breezy, application/
but gnome-app-install doesn't install the application. This is very, very
confusing to an end-user.
Why isn't there a point'n'click method for installed .deb files?

Thanks for your bugreport.
Work is being done in the <email address hidden> /apt--local- install- -0
branch to make it easy to install local deb files. The problem is that the
current tools are not able to do proper dependency resoultion for local deb
files. Unfortunately this is not ready yet and will be a breezy+1 feature. The
mime-type setting to g-a-i is a bug though.
