With crap I meant x-ole-storage.

Understandable.

True.

Surprise. That is not a backport bit a OOo - and that with a newer
shared-mime-info. Did you try using a newer shared-mime-info, too? Because
the latest Ubuntu just bases on the Debian packages and AFAIS has no
patches to OOo which do anything with x-ole-storage.
Can you please try with 3.1.1-x in either a squeeze or sid chroot? Just
to find out what is at fault here.

Who responded? Where? And why is this not recorded in the bug?
