You only need to explicitly address the Debian packaging, the
modifications there will flow to Ubuntu eventually. The Ubuntu packages
of mime-support and texmacs have no delta over the Debian packages.

You only need to get fixes in two source packages: mime-support and
texmacs. All the arch-dependent texmacs, and the arch-independent
texmacs-common package are all built from the single texmacs source
package.

I can't argue with that. Arguably, if it works, maybe it's not worth
fixing, even if it is incorrect in terms of standard compliance.

The question I was answering initially was: "Can you tell which is the
correct label for texmacs files?" You are free to ignore the answer if
you do not care. I certainly do not care enough to fix it myself.
