Package: mime-support
Version: 3.44-1

I’m tired of receiving bug reports asking to add a debian/mime file to
support an outdated MIME system that no application I know besides mutt
still uses.

All the information you need to generate mailcap entries for all
GNOME/KDE/XFCE applications is in /usr/share/applications, and is
specified at:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
With the MimeType, Exec, TryExec and Terminal fields, you have all the
information you need to write a mailcap file.

update-mime should use this information directly instead of requiring
packages to duplicate it, increasing the maintainers’ load for no good
reason.

Cheers,
