Bug#277181: (no subject)

I've got this same bug while using etch and while trying to run the unit 
tests for our code that is mostly developed on Ubuntu. It seems, that on 
Ubuntu the Word-documents are recognized as application/msword (which is 
the standard) and Debian etch recognizes the same document as 
application/vnd.ms-word (which is non-standard). Note that standard mime 
type for Excel is application/vnd.ms-excel, but for Word it's msword on 
other distros.

I can get the unit tests to work by _downgrading_ the debian package 
libmagic1 from 5.01->4.26. Note! this seems not to be gnome package 
problem but a libmagic1 problem.

Working package is libmagic1_4.26-1_i386.deb


It would be great if Debian would be using standard mime types instead 
of non-standard ones.
