Yes. I just did that:
$ HEAD https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/0/0ad-data/changelog-0.0.16-1|grep Content-Type
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Shall we also possibly also consider using a .txt extension for all the
text files that we are extracting?
That would make it more future-proof. At some point, the files we are
extracting in media might also contain non-textual files...
Cheers,
