And what do you expect me to do? Did you read the READMEs of chemical-mime-data? The chemical/ media type has never been registered with IANA. That's the reason, why this work is not put into shared-mime-info officially. And that's the reason, why update-mime-database prints the warning. The only solution(s) I can suggest you, are: (a) remove chemical-mime-data if you don't like it, (b) request redirection of update-mime-database output to /dev/null for the packages that call this binary in their postinst scripts, (c) ask for removal of the warning output or a --quiet option for the update-mime-database binary (shared-mime-info package) or (d) help with the RfC for the chemical media type. The only way I could help is to remove all chemical MIME types from the chemical-mime-data package, which is pretty much the same as de-installing chemical-mime-data.
