[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#644227: lighttpd create-mime.assign.pl ignores ~/.mime.types

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.28-2

Lighttpd gets its MIME configuration from output of 
/usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl. This script only reads MIME 
types from /etc/mime.types. However, the mime-support package also keeps 
per-user MIME-types in ~/.mime.types. These are ignored in the Lighttpd 
configuration, even if kept in www-data home-dir. The only way to add 
new per-user MIME types that are also picked up by Lighttpd is through 
/etc/mime.types, which is not recommended.

I propose that create-mime.assign.pl also reads .mime.types in the 
home-dir of lighttpd user (lighttpd.conf::server.username)
