The nemo.desktop categories entry is different than other file managers. Its a very user friendly file manager, but when a user adds it to their system, it doesn't appear on the menu and isn't easily selectable as their default file manager:

Current categories entry: Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Core;

Requested categories entry: Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Core;System;FileManager

These are the relevant settings in /usr/share/applications/nemo.desktop in LMDE6. It will be added, like many other File Managers, as "Files"
