I have no idea whether the solution proposed below could help here: I
just injected
svn://svn.debian.org/collab-maint/deb-maint/mime-support-extra
which would bring back mime support for evince for all applications I'm
using. (I was too bored to always update a local evince package which
works.) It is *very* simple and does not implement all those nifty
suggestions given here but not yet implemented.
I see two options to go from here:
1. I just keep this package as a private solution.
2. I upload the package to unstable by
a) issuing a new ITP
b) turning #658139 into ITP: mime-support-extra
I have no idea what makes the best sense and whether ftpmaster would
accept such a package (I'm not even sure whether I in the position of
ftpmaster would accept this). I'd regard it as a too simple but helpful
workaround for a problem which should be solved differently.
In any case the idea is to collect issues of broken mime support where
maintainers are unable / not willing to respect Debian policy 9.7.
Adding more entries is simple: Just add the according mime file as
<pkg>.mime and add <pkg> to "Enhances" in debian/control.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
