Package: libdjvulibre15
Version: 3.5.16-1
Severity: important

Hello,

The upcoming KDE 3.5 is shipping /usr/share/mimelnk/image/x-djvu.desktop. 
This conflicts with libdjvulibre15, which also includes this file. I'd like 
to request that libdjvulibre15 not include this file, since it isn't the 
role of a library to include this sort of mime information, but the 
responsibility of user software. For instance, libpng doesn't include a png 
mimelnk file, but KDE does, etc.

If the djvulibre package must include all this mimelnk stuff, icons, etc. 
then it should be with the djview package. Then you'll need to add a 
Conflicts with kdelibs-data (>> 4:3.5-rc1), and we can do the same with 
djview. At least now, however, people will be able to install libdjvulibre 
and KDE at the same time.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Christopher Martin
