Package: kdelibs-data
Version: 4:3.5.2-2
Severity: normal

When you execute the command

grep -E "=\*\...." `dpkg --listfiles kdelibs-data | grep mimelnk`

you'll see that some .desktop-files define file name patterns to match
both upper case and lower case extensions while others only contain a
pattern to match lower case extensions. This seems to be completely
arbitrary. E.g. the pattern in x-python.desktop is *.py while the
pattern in x-ruby.desktop is *.rb;*.RB;*.ruby;*.RUBY.

I think this should be unified so all Patterns also match the upper
case form of the listed extensions. Files created on a Windows system
often have an upper case extension. With the current situation such
files are not associated with the appropriate programs in many
cases. Furthermore I think there is no rease to consider the file
program.py to be a Phython program and program.PY not to.

Cheers, Stefan Borggraefe!
