Bug#497370: gdesklets includes shared mime info files

[Cesare Tirabassi]

Package: gdesklets
Version: 0.36-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

gdesklets includes in the package a number of shared mime info files:

/usr/share/mime/packages/gdesklets.xml
/usr/share/mime/application/x-gdesklets-display.xml
/usr/share/mime/globs2
/usr/share/mime/types
/usr/share/mime/generic-icons
/usr/share/mime/icons
/usr/share/mime/treemagic

Only /usr/share/mime/packages/gdesklets.xml should be included, all others are 
created by running update-mime-database during build.
Note that in the package there are a number of rm calls in debian/rules to 
remove some shared mime info files. Instead of updating these I think it 
would be better to remove alltogether the calls to update-mime-database; this 
way the package should be future-proof.
I have patched it this way in Ubuntu, I thought you may want to do the same 
(patch attached).

I hope this helps,

Cesare

PS. The best would obviously be to be able to disable the whole 
shared-mime-info business through a configure option, perhaps its worth 
addressing this upstream?
