Package: mime-support
Version: 3.56
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the package mime-supports installs /usr/bin/edit as a symlink
to /usr/bin/run-mailcap . However, in many cases this does not open the
the application most probably desired by the user. E.g.:
  $ edit foobar.html
would open the sensible www-browser, most likely iceweasel. The
expected behaviour would be to open an editor instead.

Suggestion:
A better link target would be /etc/alternatives/editor
