Currently there is some heavy discussion on debian-devel list about mime
(and whether possibly mime entries could be generated from desktop
files). In fact Debian Policy 9.7 says you should provide mime handling
and I agree that this makes perfectly sense if you are using programs
like mutt, lynx/w3m, mc, emacs and others. So providing mime entries is
a good thing.
We also should support fredesktop.org specifications in *.desktop files
(even if this is not (yet) specified in Debian Policy as far as I know).
So yes, this is a bit redundant.

I wonder whether we should maintain some biological-mime-data package.
Kind regards
Andreas.
