Some of the mimemap values are obsolete, but changing them would more or less force every Recoll user to reset their index, so it will only happen in conjunction with another change which would force a reindex. This is more an upstream issue than one specific to the Debian package actually. I am taking a note of the issue, and the values can be fixed at the next occasion. I'd be curious to know how you hit this problem with these file types which usually have proper extensions ? J.F. Dockes
