Same as for update-mime-database and update-desktop-database: I have to define the variable to /bin/true to skip generation on packages that do generate these databases. I have only seen one or two packages that allow to disable the database stuff.
Yeah, seems like no-one has addressed this issue either yet. In Fedora we're doing the same trick as with scrollkeeper.
I've added --disable-mime-update and --disable-desktop-update configure parameters to Drivel to prevent regenerating these databases during package creation, then running update-[mime,desktop]-database in the post-install script. If anyone is interested, the relevant code is in the configure.ac, data/Makefile.am, and data/mime/Makefile.am files in the "drivel" GNOME CVS module.
