Title:
  deb file managment missing

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Environment: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Fully upgraded

  Natively Ubuntu doesn't handle correctly with a GUI application files
  in deb format since GDebi is not installed by default.

  Quick example is Virtualbox installation: if I download the deb file
  and double click on it, Software Install will take care of the
  installation, fine. But if I download the new version as deb file,
  Software update doesn't handle the upgrade procedure.

  IMHO the quick fix of this bad UX is to install by default GDebi and
  make .deb file associated with that application that has GUI.
