Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdesklets

root@norsetto:~# apt-file search /usr/share/mime/globs2
beast: /usr/share/mime/globs2
gdesklets: /usr/share/mime/globs2
root@norsetto:~# apt-file search /usr/share/mime/generic-icons
beast: /usr/share/mime/generic-icons
gdesklets: /usr/share/mime/generic-icons
root@norsetto:~# apt-file search /usr/share/mime/icons
beast: /usr/share/mime/icons
gdesklets: /usr/share/mime/icons

The problem seems to be that both packages use update-mime-database during build. This should be disabled (or patched out) and update-mime-database only run on the user's machine through maintainer scripts.

In addition note that gdesklets ships /usr/share/mime/treemagic and /usr/share/mime/types.
This should be due to gdesklets running shared-mime-info during build.

gdesklets is also running update-desktop-database during build, but apparently this has not effect (but it would be better if disabled obviously).
