And what about generating of /etc/mime.types from Shared MIME Info

It is simple:

( shopt -s nullglob ; IFS="$IFS:" ; for dir in
${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/} ; do for file in
$dir/mime/packages/*.xml ; do sed -n 's/.*<mime-type
type="\([^"]*\).*/\1:/p;s/.*<glob pattern="\*.\([^"]*\).*/
\1/p;s:.*</mime-type>.*:#:p' $file | tr -d '\n' | tr '#' '\n' ; done ; done )

The only problem caused by this stupid script is:
application/x-tex-gf: *gf

Those mime types should be submitted upstreas
(ftp://ftp.iana.org/assignments/media-types/) and added to
/etc/mime.types (which our apache uses). -> Rudi?

yes, iana is definitely the way to go. 
I'll try to get something into aaa_base to sync these files with upstream. 
 

IANA does not provide file suffixes, only list of types and short descriptions.

And IANA does not care anout x-* MIME types.

It would be better to use freedesktop.org. It is maintained and contains things
you need.

The mime types are in
http://framework.openoffice.org/documentation/mimetypes/mimetypes.html
scroll down to the end for "Sample mime.types entries"

Same behaviour in Final release.

yes. moving to 10.1 
 

updated mime.types from dist/unpacked/i386.full with the script similar
to comment #2
for dir in ${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/} ; do
  for file in $dir/mime/packages/*.xml ; do         sed -n 's/.*<mime-type type="\([^"]*\).*/\1/p;s/.*<glob pattern="\*.\([^"]*\).*/ \1/p;s:.*</mime-type>.*:#:p' $file | tr -d '\n' | tr '#' '\n'r;
done; done | sort -u
