Disagree about removing gdebi / gdebi-gtk. It would be reasonably to change the default binding (mime type?) for .deb to invoke software-center, however there are many other packages which may have their own separate bindings which would be broken by removing gdebi. This includes 3rd party installs (e.g. Opera, Google Chrome).
