Bug Description

With that line included gdebi will not be available from the right click > properties menu
Users can only set gdebi as default by either editing/removing the line in gdebi.desktop or adding a line in -
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list in the [Default Applications] section
Shouldn't be that way...

  * data/gdebi.desktop.in, data/gdebi-kde.desktop.in:
    - Remove NoDisplay to show GDebi in system menus (LP: #803729).

Really a minor issue, thought i'd re-open just in case there is a rebuild or for 12/10
The only way .desktops will show up in nautilus' right click > properties > open with lists is if the Exec= line in the app's .desktop ends with a %something
Not sure if %f is appropriate but seemed ok here

Ex.
Exec=gdebi-gtk %f

  [ Luca Falavigna ]
  * data/gdebi.desktop.in:
    - Append %f to Exec parameter (LP: #803729).
  * GDebi/GDebiKDE.py:
    - Invoke kdesu instead of kdesudo in Debian (Closes: #641078).
  * debian/control:
    - Suggest xz-lzma to provide support for lzma compresed packages,
      they are not very common as lzma is no longer supported by
      Debian archive (superseded by xz), but are still valid and
      supported by dpkg/apt (Closes: #650507).
    - Add kde-runtime to gdebi-kde dependencies for kdesu support.
  * po/*.po:
    - Refresh translations exported from Rosetta.

  [ Michael Terry ]
  * debian/control:
    - Do not pass "all" to X-Python-Version, pass ">= 2.6" instead,
      which is known to work with GDebi code (Closes: #648229).
