Bug#613752: Registers itself to open PDF and PostScript; ends up as the default

2012-02-03 Thread Marcos Marado
Hi there,

I'm sorry, but I fail to understand two things:

1) Why is this a bug on Inkscape?

This started happening exactly to solve a bug[1]: while Inkscape
supports many filetypes,
the application wasn't registering them. And this is the correct
behaviour: applications that
open PDF should state so. What I see here is that there should be a
priority system or
something that would let applications know which application to
present as default for
opening a certain filetype, when more than one option is available.

2) Why is the severity of this bug serious?

While I understand this is an annoying bug, I don't understand how
does it fit on the
serious description:

is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a must
or required directive), or,
in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the
package unsuitable for
release.

I recently hit this bug after an upgrade pulled in Gnome 3.  Very
annoying.  Though I agree that this should be changed, see here for a
workaround that's better than nothing:
