Either one is a good idea I like. That's the right approach, and one
which also works globally. Unfortunately many packages may rely on a
single /etc/mime.types file, so I guess mime-support's maintainer would
need to add a update-mime-types helper or something which merges changes
upon request to a single file.

Having that said, I think this is not a problem specific to Lighttpd and
while it would be easy to implement that for us, because we do have a
mime.types wrapper already, I believe a proper solution would work for
any program relying on the mime.types file. Hence I reassign this bug to
to mime-support in hope maintainers there will agree.

If you there think this is not a more generic problem, please reassign
the bug back to us.
