This suggests that this bug report against mypaint should be changed
into a "request for package: oratools" or such.

There's already an RFP for that one: http://bugs.debian.org/659320 --
and since it IMHO doesn't make a lot of sense to rip the GNOME
thumbnailer out of a project offering GNOME, KDE and XFCE thumbnailers
on a common code base, I'll retitle that bug report soon accordingly.

... and since 0.71 is part of Squeeze that's long time ago.

So IMHO mypaint should recommend shared-mime-info. (No specific
versioned dependency needed anymore nowadays.)

So the only thing which actually still open in this bug report is the
missing thumbnailer and the missing Recommends on shared-mime-info,
right?

And since the thumbnailers are nowadays its own upstream project at
https://gitorious.org/openraster/ora-thumbnailers and no more part of
mypaint, http://bugs.debian.org/659320 already covers that part.

So I hereby retitle this bug report accordingly.

P.S.: mypaint recently has been orphaned in Debian (see
http://bugs.debian.org/691827). I'm no regular user of mypaint, but
would like to see it staying in shape in Debian, so if anyone is
interested, I'd be happy to sponsor or co-maintain the package (I
sponsored it in the past already), but I'll likely won't maintain it
alone.

                Regards, Axel
