I can't because I'm not really qualified.  But I'm wondering whether we
should add these mime rules to the meta package and let dh_installmime
take over the job to install the respective rules.  Sounds like a
reasonable idea to me to just implement in code what we document in the
wiki.

Alternatively we might be able to add these mime types to the
packages in question which would be better in this regard that
you don't have to install the meta package necessarily.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
