[Pkg-nginx-maintainers] Debian nginx package: Mimetype for xsl and xslt is incorrect

Hi, 

Today, while debugging some issues in an nginx-served xml+xsl application, we saw that our xsl transforms were failing due to the xsl being served with this header:

content-type: application/octet-stream

This is the default mime type configured in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. 

We realized there is no configuration in /etc/nginx/mime.types for xsl and xslt extensions .

I created a merge request for adding that in the container maintainer’s project. 

But I realized that the better place to fix this was upstream, either in the Debian nginx package, or in the nginx package upstream from Debian. 

Would you prefer I contribute a patch to Debian, or is this better solved with the nginx team?

Thank you. 

Kristofer
