Hello,

Bug #1034875 in kitty reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/kitty/-/commit/b66f1fdd1774d353b9cd10946410b293f2eb0124

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ship kitty-open.desktop as an example

The desktop file registers itself as a handler for application/sh (and
related) mimetypes.  When it has priority in the mime database, this
will *execute* rather than *view* the file.

Even if those mimetypes were removed, there are also text/* mimetypes
that can be executed.

Since this is unexpected, and potentially dangerous (running
shellscripts when they were intended to be viewed), stop installing the
desktop file.

Instead, provide it as an example and describe how to enable, as well as
the caveats, in README.Debian.

Newer kitty versions will support[0] prompting the user before executing
executable files, but that can't be easily backported to the Python
version of the kitten.
