Do other Posix systems, whether other GNU/Linux or Unix, also have this file? OTOH, if we want to rely on this file, then why do we have a non-empty mailcap-mime-extensions at all? And why adding a few more entries to that list should be rejected? In any case, one can download (what seems to be) the latest version of the mime-support package from here: http://packages.debian.org/source/wheezy/mime-support Then set the MIMETYPES environment variable to point to its absolute file names, and then it can be used by mailcap-parse-mimetypes on any system. Perhaps we should recommend users to do that if their systems don't have the file already.
