Package: latexmk
Version: 307a-2
Severity: wishlist

Please default to using 'see' (i.e. run-mailcap --view) as the default
viewer, then the user can configure it in the same way as other
document type viewers, instead of as at present having to work out yet
another configuration mechanism.

Note that mime-support is already depended on by texlive-base-bin, so
latexmk already depends on it indirectly. Also, texdoc uses "see" as
its default viewer. Another option would be to use texdoc as the
default viewer for latexmk, as then by default it would use see, and
if the user wants to make special arrangements for (La)TeX work,
he/she can configure texdoc (and again, there's one less configuration
mechanism to learn).
