Description Pino Toscano 2007-02-20 06:14:22 UTC 
The application/x-ksysv-package is quite poor:
a) it misses a description
b) its magic is incomplete

Comment 2 Christian - Manny Calavera - Neumair 2007-03-08 07:36:07 UTC 
Thanks for your bug report!

The KSysV tool seems to be a very specific admin tool, and it has an application-specific MIME type for files that are probably only useful to a very small number of users.

I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to distribute its MIME type with a generic MIME type package at all, but I guess it is not the best idea to just remove a previously-supported MIME type.

Long short story: Fixed, closing. Thanks.
