So, the bug it's not that applications installed from deb don't have a proper icon in Discover, but that they are not listed at all. On Kubuntu 23.04 what I notice is that:

- For an application that IS already present in default sources (e.g. in Kubuntu, Strawberry) and listed (as uninstalled), if that is installed from file (e.g. deb, a later version), then the new installed program is listed as installed. No bug in this case.

- For an application that IS already present in default sources and is listed (as uninstalled), if that is installed NOT from a local file like a deb, but by a different method, like that for Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux), then the new installed version of the program is not listed as installed, but the old version is listed as before (uninstalled, if the case). That could be a different bug.

- For an application that IS NOT already  present in default sources (e.g. in Kubuntu, Opera, Chrome, Megasync, FreeOffice), if that is installed from file (e.g. deb), then the new installed program is not listed. This is the bug reported here.
