Yes I did notice that myself - I use gentoo.

I think the solution is for me to make an option --disable-mime-update 
to configure for packagers to use when creating builds, generally 
end-users won't be interested in disabling update-mime-database.  Do 
people agree?

On a similar note would it help if I made the installing of mime-types 
opt-out too (an option --disable-mime-install)?
