This is the diff between how the file _should_ look like in oneiric
(extracted from 0.18-0ubuntu9) and what Jamie attached:
$ diff -u o/etc/gnome/defaults.list defaults.list.dpkg-old
--- o/etc/gnome/defaults.list 2011-10-18 15:32:33.0 +0200
+++ defaults.list.dpkg-old 2012-04-11
This was most likely done by a call to xdg-mime, in some postinst
script. They are not supposed to do that. But now we need to find out
what did that. Can you guys please run
grep xdg-mime /var/lib/dpkg/info/*
?

This is on my son's machine, which exhibited the problem:
$ grep xdg-mime /var/lib/dpkg/info/*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/acroread.list:/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/xdg-mime
/var/lib/dpkg/info/acroread.md5sums:ee17ed0fa79aa8c553a68e8a8e7d07d2
opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/xdg-mime
Ah, thank you! So I'm afraid there is not that much that we can do about
it, as acroread is a third party package.

Rick, can you please attach your /etc/gnome/defaults.list file (if you
said keep the old file) or /etc/gnome/defaults.list.dpkg-old (or
similarly named) if you said install the new file? I don't see any
package which modifies the conffile, so seeing what actually changed
might give us a clue what
This file is provided by desktop-file-utils so that is the responsible
package. I saw this myself so I am setting the bug to Triaged.
