It seems you are generalizing too much. > application/x-sqlite2 > application/x-sqlite3 I never seen sqlite database with extensions. > audio/x-mpeg This is a good candiate to be an alias for audio/mpeg (thus to be killed as lonely mimetype). application/x-class-file looks like it should be removed, or made an alias for application/x-java, which has the *.class glob. > application/x-ksysv-package It's bug #10040. The fact that *.pcx is missing is probably a bug, yes. Also, I have seen *.mbox used for application/mbox (e.g. by kmail), please add that pattern. And maybe *.awk for awk scripts? is that used? But it's perfectly valid for mimetypes with magic to not have a pattern, for instance application/mac-binhex40 or application/pgp-signature. The mimetype is detected from the contents of the file - no problem.
