Bug Description

$ apt show mime-support
 This is a transitional package. It will be possible to remove it
 safely once its dependency chain has adjusted to depend on mailcap
 or media-types directly.

I didn't update this dependency because I don't know if we need mailcap as an ubuntu-standard Depends or not. I believe we do want media-types.
