I looked through the files in /usr/lib/mime/packages/, according to the
dh_installmime manpage that's the place where the files should end up.
There I can find files using %s with and without quotation.

Here I'd say to have the complete file in one package. That can of course
still be lyx but I think the frontends or at least lyx-common should depend
on the lyx package as it get's more and more usefull to have it installed.

I couldn't find much documentation on this issue yet. For the xml based
shared-mime-info are specs avaible etc.
