To reproduce this bug I take the following steps:
0. I use Thunar to open files and associate file extensions. I have both
file-roller and xarchiver installed.
1. Make sure *.deb files are opened with Gdebi by default (not with an archive
manager).
2. Choose any file in Thunar and select 'Create Archive' from the menu.
3. The aforementioned dialog should appear. Choose any archive manager and
click OK. After that you don't need to actually create an archive.
4. Try to open any *.deb file. You will see it is now associated with your
previously chosen archive manager, as well as several other file types.
My guess is that thunar-archive-plugin has a pre-defined list of file
types, which it associates every time the dialog is invoked. This
behavior is wrong and should be changed.
** Changed in: thunar-archive-plugin (Ubuntu)
