In the described case, xdg-open in generic mode relies on the
/usr/share/applications/apturl.desktop file that is provided by the
apturl-common package, and the utility correctly calls to apturl. At
present, we may consider the bug fixed.

Title:
xdg-open should open apt:// with apturl by default, not the default
browser
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xdg-utils
Currently, xdg-open use default browser to open apturl links, which is not
really useful.
On Gnome, gnome-open is used for xdg-open, so it's working on Gnome
environnement. But, on others environnements, it doesn't work unless something
else is used to open links (gnme-open, exo ...).
To be perfect, it should open apturl links by default with apturl, or with
the handler specify by default.list.
