Clearing out some packages, I was left with a lot of seemingly orphaned
files in /sw/share/mime. One of the packages I removed was
shared-mime-info, but that only installs /sw/share/mime/packages, not
any of the other files listed below (dpkg -S shows no parent for them)
$ ls -l (in /sw/share/mime)
total 28
-rw-r--r--1 root admin 56 23 Feb 10:04 XMLnamespaces
drwxr-xr-x 200 root admin 6800 23 Feb 10:04 application/
drwxr-xr-x 28 root admin952 23 Feb 10:04 audio/

Shared-mime-info has a PostInstScript that runs
%p/bin/update-mime-database, but there is no PostRmScript to undo this.
Might this be the source of the orphaned files?
