Dear all, I made progress in preparing the split: `mime-support` will become dummy and depend on `media-types`, providing /etc/mime.types, priority Stanard, and `mailcap`, providing the mailcap system, priority optional. Before I upload to experimental, I would be happy to hear your comments. The source packages are on Salsa. - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mime-support - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/media-types - https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mailcap Please CC me and the bug; I am not subscribed to debian-devel.
