Bug#979231: the new mailcap entry breaks mutt



Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.14-6
Severity: critical
Tags: newcomer
X-Debbugs-Cc: vagrant@debian.org

The recent NMU of a2ps converted the package to dh, and this enabled 
dh_installmime which was present in debian/rules but commented.

The installed file adds to mailcap an entry for "text/plain", which
breaks mutt and probably other software in fun ways.

Solution: override dh_installmime to stop installing the file until 
somebody will figure out a better plan.

It may be worth considering removing a2ps from the archive since its 
last upstream release and non-NMU uploads were from 2008 and I am being 
told that it does not support UTF-8.
paps has been mentioned as a replacement.
