Package: mime-support
Version: 3.56
Severity: wishlist

Grepping /etc/mime.types turned out there is no entry for xz files, which
are now fairly often used, especially in Debian.

According to http://filext.com/file-extension/XZ the mime type for xz
files is application/x-xz. 
Unfortunately the mime type doesn't seem registered (yet) with iana
according to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml#application

I tried to read through the document about registering a new mime type,
but got lost pretty quickly. Sorry.

Cheers,
  Diederik
