Bug#677583: evince: does not ship mailcap entry

Package: evince
Version: 3.4.0-2+b1
Severity: important

Hi everyone,

Running gnome3, typing
	see foo.pdf
I am greeted by a strange beast called "okular" ;-)

Well, why not evince? So I digged through it and it seems that
see (which was in former times using evince) uses mime types, i.e.,
/etc/mailcap, and it seems that evince does not appear in there
anymore, many other pdf programs indeed do exist.

Is this on purpose?

Norbert
