Yes, but ... there seems to be more

What I have seen so far
a.) The commad "file" uses libmagic, but it gives the wrong mime-type although 
it is using file
                                 "/usr/share/misc/magic.mgc" (belonging to the 
package libmagic1), and there exist entries
                                 for e.g. "BibTeX standard bibliography", 
"BibTeX standard bibliography style text file" etc.
                file --mime-type x.bib --> text/plain
                                 LyX-files are also not recognized:
                file --mime-type *.lyx --> text/x-tex(90%), text/plain(10%) (*)

b.) The command "mimetype" (a perlscript) gives the correct output, but checks 
for extension.
                                 It uses the file "/usr/share/mime/magic" which 
does not seem to belong to any installed package.
                mimetype -D x.bib

                > Checking globs for basename 'x.bib'
                > Checking for extension '.bib'
                > x.bib: text/x-bibtex

(*) Maybe we should handle "text/x-tex" the same way as "text/plain" and 
"application/postscript" now.
