Bug#872001: libreoffice-common: please stop shipping mimelnk desktop files

[Pino Toscano <pino@debian.org>]

Package: libreoffice-common
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

libreoffice-common ships desktop files under /usr/share/mimelnk: they
are mimetypes for kdelibs v3.x (and older), which had its own mimetype
system.

Since:
- kdelibs v4.x uses XDG mimetypes
- kdelibs 3.x was shipped last in Debian in Squeeze (and thus no more
  other kdelibs v3-based application)
- that mimetype system was exclusively used by kdelibs 3.x
I suggest to simply drop those files at least from libreoffice-common
in Debian.  Most probably, they could be removed upstream too.

Thanks,
