Hello everybody, http://bugs.debian.org/497779 contains a patch for the mime-support package to solve this problem for every package that provides a .desktop file but no mailcap entry. The mime-support package has been orphaned last week.
Wouldn't one of the following solutions be acceptable for you ? - Add the function to mime-support in Wheezy to update /etc/mailcap using the FreeDesktop menu entry files in /usr/share/applications via dpkg triggers. - Do this in Sid, and add back the MIME entries in evince in Wheezy as a temporary compromise. If nobody else volunteers, I propose to start a maintenance group for the mime-support package, that I would store in a Git repository on Alioth's collab-maint group. My background in MIME support is that I maintain packages that declare MIME types, I keep track of MIME support in the Policy (http://bugs.debian.org/661816), and I wrote much of the MimeTypesSupport page on the Debian wiki (http://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport).
