Come to think of it, I could extract this information periodically from a mirror and include it directly in a package. Far from optimal either, as the package would need periodic uploads. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

The attached patch to dh_desktop creates a ${Mime-Types} substitution
variable, containing the list of supported MIME types in the
shipped .desktop files.
The goal is to create for packages a new field:
XB-Mime-Types: ${Mime-Types}
In the end, it could be used by Debian-specific tools to look for an
application supporting a specific MIME type.
Has this been discussed somewhere already?

The attached patch to dh_desktop creates a ${Mime-Types} substitution
variable, containing the list of supported MIME types in the
shipped .desktop files.
The goal is to create for packages a new field:
XB-Mime-Types: ${Mime-Types}
In the end, it could be used by Debian-specific tools to look for an
application supporting a specific MIME type.
Furthermore, it doesn't create the postinst/postrm scripts when no MIME
types are supported, as in this case they are not necessary.
