In /etc/mime.types, I try to remove unofficial types, and give preference to the ones declared to the IANA for the association with file extensions. In the case of the .texi extension it was recently declared by text/prs.texi and if I follow my own policy, then I would need to de-associate it from text/x-texinfo regardless the relevance of text/prs.texi. Duplicate entries in /etc/mime.types are not supported by some software including web browsers. So what I did was to refrain from adding text/prs.texi for Trixie and waited for application/texinfo to be registered. Now I can update the package (maybe not for Trixie) so that application/texinfo takes over text/x-texinfo. I hope it explains better. Thanks again!
