Attached a debdiff against 2.22.1-0ubuntu2, actually implementing the functionality. Working binary available for testing through my PPA (currently underway):

Thanks for your report, Sebastien may you take a look to it later? thanks.

Why is this protocol not registered in gconf instead?

[Jo-Erlend Schinstad (joerlend.schinstad)]

That is a very good question.

[Artem Popov (artfwo)]

In fact, it is. See /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/apt

It is normally registered by installing apturl package, that is included on CD by default since gutsy, I think.

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The xchat patch didn't apply but was fairly trivial to update, so I'll sponsor that.

I looked at the gnome-terminal patch but looks like that codebase has changed a good bit. If this patch is still wanted it probably should be redone and retested. Feel free to re-sub ubuntu-sponsors once that's been done.

  * NOTE: This version changes behaviour around the "Switch to tab" keyboard
    shortcuts. They are now active all the time, whereas previously they were
    only active when you had a corresponding number of tabs open. If you need
    to send these keys to your terminal, clear the shortcuts in the
    preferences dialog.
  * Drop 03_add_keywords.desktop: Not useful any more.
  * Drop 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch: Too much effort to maintain, not
    deemed important enough to keep.
  * Resynchronise with Debian, remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/50_add_unity_quicklist.patch: Add Unity quicklist menu
      item.
    - debian/patches/60_add_lp_handler.patch: Add a handler for launchpad bug
      URLs.
  * Disable shell provider, we don't want to build-dep on gnome-shell.
  * Bump build-dependencies according to configure.ac:
    - intltool 0.50.0
    - vte 0.36.0
    - glib 2.39.2
  * Make debian/patches/10_kfreebsd-f_dupfd_cloexec.patch apply again.
  * Add build-dependency on libnautilus-extension-dev
  * Add new patch debian/patches/nautilus-x11.patch
    - build fails because of -Wl,-z,defs missing -lX11 in nautilus extension
  * Include autoreconf.mk cdbs snippet and build-depend on dh-autoreconf
  * Install new files in gnome-terminal
    - nautilus extension
  * debian/patches/0001-Restore-transparency.patch: Patch from Debarishi Ray
    to re-add support for transparent terminals. Updated to support loading a
    transparency value from the theme, if it provides one and to migrate the
    settings from GConf.

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * debian/rules:
    - Build with --enable-distro-packaging to not override Ubuntu
      environment variables
  * debian/patches/52_support_apturl.patch:
    - Support apt: URIs (LP: #217611)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Add 61_cwd_fallback.patch: Provide fallback for reading current directory
    if OSC 7 fails. (LP: #1132700)
