If I remember correctly, that's the responsibility of the desktop-file-utils package - running "update-desktop-database" looks through .desktop files installed by applications, to create a mapping of Mime types to supporting applications. One caution - it assumes the files are in /usr/share/applications by default, so may be a little more complicated if you have Gnome installed elsewhere (e.g /opt). If that's your situation, I can't help further, since I have everything in /usr. Simon.
