Well, I'm too stupid to figure out how to search the bug database to
keep from being redundant, so I'll grit my teeth and submit this anyway:
during upgrade from slink to potato I received the message "Warning:
'install-mime' is obsolete use 'update-mime' instead" several times.
Unfortunately it usually went by too fast for me to catch the associated
program name. Most noticeable was ImageMagic which spit out about a
screen and a half of file types that would not have mime-type support.
Since this was a dist-upgrade, I kept my old mime support and everything
works as well as it ever did.
Suggest updating post-install scripts for programs that invoke
'install-mime' to 'update-mime'.
Slink to Potato upgrade via apt-get.
Custom 2.2.12 kernel that I D/Led and installed myself from source (as
in, I didn't
know I could apt-get install a kernel :P )

Yes, this is just a compatability message. There is nothing we can do
about this in the context of base. I'm going to close this bug.
