Rejoice !  I just split the package into two:

 - media-types provides /etc/mime-types, which is what most packages
   depend on mime-support.
 - mailcap provides the mailcap system.
 - mime-support becomes a transition package.

So you should be able to remove mailcap easily.

Conversely, others interested in extending mailcap should be able to fork it 
easily.

And of couse the mailcap package can be constantly improved.

It will take me a bit of time to comment on the bug itself, as I am
going on business trip next week...

Have a nice week-end,
