I hereby propose the following TC resolution (and withdraw my previous
version):

  1. The Technical Committee agrees with Neil McGovern's analysis of
     the situation regarding evince's missing mime type entry.

  2. If changes are desirable to our system for dealing with mime
     type entries and desktop files, including changes to policy or
     additional automation, these should be made via the usual
     development and policy amendment processes.

  3. We agree with the Release Team that it is now too late to deploy
     such automation in wheezy.

  4. We do not disagree with the Release Team's assessment that
     the failure of the evince package to provide a mime type
     entry is a release critical bug.

  5. We therefore decline to overrule the Release Team.  The bug
     remains RC against evince.

Ian.
