Subject: Please replace or remove mime-support in the Recommends section of xmaxima and maxima-emacs

Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 11:53:58 +0900

Source: maxima
Version: Please replace or remove mime-support in the Recommends section of xmaxima and maxima-emacs
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: plessy@debian.org

Dear Camm,

In the previous release cycle, I have split the `mime-support` package
into two: `media-types` supplies /etc/mime.types and `mailcap` supplies
the mailcap system.  `mime-support` is now a transitional package that
I would like to remove from Debian.

xmaxima and maxima-emacs recommend the mime-support package.  Can you
replace it with either media-types or mailcap according to your needs?
Alternatively, if it appears that you do not directly need the presence
of the /etc/mime.types file or the availability of the mailcap system,
you can just drop the recommends entirely.  I searched for keywords such
as mime.types and mailcap via codesearch.debian.net and could not find
evidence of use.

Have a nice day,

Charles
