Package: freecad
Version: 0.18~pre1+dfsg1-5

At the moment, when using a graphical file browser like konqueror in
Debian to open a .dxf file, the librecad program is loaded, even if
freecad is installed.

The reason for this is that the freecad desktop files do not list
support for the MIME type 'image/vnd.dxf'.  This MIME type is also the
one listed on <URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF >.

>From <URL: https://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport/PackageList > I see
there is also the 'application/x-dxf' MIME type used by some programs,
but according the the 'properties' option in konqueror, 'image/vnd.dxf'
is the one used.

Please adjust the freecad desktop file to list freecad as an option for
DXF files in Debian.
