Package: mime-support
Version: 3.48-1

Could the mime-support package be using IANA as the upstream for mime.types?

  http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

I discovered this when comparing with what Fedora does. Their "mailcap" 
package is hosted in git at

  http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/mailcap.git

and here is their mime.types file

  http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/mailcap.git?f=mime.types;hb=HEAD

I'm not sure if that comes direct from IANA that way (I couldn't find 
anything
like that on the IANA site) or if they are using some tool to generate it 
(if so it's not in the git repo).

If you diff it against the copy in mime-support you'll see that the Debian 
one is pretty out of date.

The debian mime-support and fedora mailcap source packages seem to share 
the same function. Maybe you could merge your efforts and create a new 
upstream project that both used?

Thanks,
