Those fake mimetypes are installed by kdelibs with the file
/usr/share/mime/packages/kde.xml since long time ago. They are kept in
kde4libs.
In a recent version, update-mime-database became verbose about this unknown
types, and that is why you get this error when you update stuff and then
update-mime-database is run.
It is unlikely to be changed.
