Control: reassign -1 debianutils
Control: retitle -1 debianutils should not call update-mime in its maintainer 
scripts.
Control: severity -1 normal

Hi Clint,

debianutils calls update-mime in its postinst and postrm scripts, but it
seems to me that it is unnecessary because a) update-mime has a dpkg
trigger to run when it is needed, and b) debianutils does not ship a
mailcap file.  If I am not wrong, can you remove the call from the
sripts ?

(Reassigning #940066 to debianutils; a separate bug is open to address
the noisy warnings of update-mime.)

Have a nice week-end,

Charles
