Indeed. You can request a handler or several handlers for multiple mime 
types at once. I also cannot imagine a good use case for requesting 
several mime type handlers at the same time. But that is the given 
design of the PackageKit API that we need to implement here.

The same is true for multimedia codecs - and more obvious: You e.g. 
need a handler for the audio stream, the video stream and the container 
format. In a cornor case all three handlers are located in separate 
packages. There is a small logic in session-installer that pre-selects 
the package or the best packages that provide all handlers by default.
