Package: mime-support
Version: 3.58
Severity: normal

My understanding was that file extensions in /etc/mime.types must map
to only one MIME type, but perhaps I am in error?

In /etc/mime.types supplied with latest Debian 8.2 (Jessie) the
file extension "ent" appears twice --

   chemical/x-ncbi-asn1-ascii                      prt ent
   chemical/x-pdb                                  pdb ent

Should it not be present for only one MIME type, and if so,
which MIME type?

Thank you for assistance in resolving this issue.
