On the latest version, it now does that: % cat /usr/share/app-install/desktop/racket:drracket.desktop [Desktop Entry] X-AppInstall-Package=racket X-AppInstall-Popcon=50 X-AppInstall-Section=universe Name=DrRacket Comment=IDE for Racket Exec=drracket Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Development; Icon=plt StartupNotify=true X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=app-install-data It does not seem to install a mime type though (yet?).
