patch proposal

Hi,

currently, xdg-open uses run-mailcap if it's available on the system (checked
with which command), and if it's a debian system (checked with
/etc/debian_version).

But copying run-mailcap from a debian system to a non debian linux system works
fine. So maybe, the check for /etc/debian_version is not necessary. That would
also for other distributions to use it and/or for someone to put the
run-mailcap script in its path (which is what I'm currently doing).
