Hmmm, looking at this, there is at least one more issue with this series
which I haven't noticed before: the mailcap package already has a
provider, fetched from Fedora. It is similar, but not the same - it is
missing the executable scripts for example, which the Debian version ships.

Do you have any preference, how should we deal with it? Drop the Debian
version? Or rename it to mailcap-debian or similar (personally I'm
leaning towards this)? Maybe just keep mime-support name, and merge the
two packages, ignoring the upstream split? Something else?
