Public bug reported:

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.
