That is correct. But would I want this? Now that we have mime-support,
shouldn't I depend on it? It really is a useful feature. I find it reasonable
to enfore this via Depends. Otherwise it fails silently and we gain nada.
BTW: I currently use what you posted earlier as calls to install-mime, but
added a ">/dev/null" as I don't like the verbosity too much. As the output of
# grep install-info /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postrm | grep -v quiet
is empty on my machine, I think you should add a switch --quiet.
