kde-plasma/plasma-mimeapps-list-2 installs `/etc/xdg/mimeapps.list`. According to the spec[1], it's a system-wide config and kde shouldn't try to hijack it. It should rather be put into some DE-specific location, probably `/usr/share/applications/KDE-mimeapps.list` or at most `/etc/xdg/KDE-mimeapps.list`.

kde-plasma/plasma-desktop currently installs /usr/share/applications/kde-mimeapps.list. Im thinking installing to the distribution wide location and then worrying later if gnome needs similar treatment.

But those defaults will affect other DEs, which is not desirable. Moreover, kde-plasma/plasma-desktop depends upon kde-plasma/plasma-mimeapps-list, so why would you need to install them both? Or why do you need to maintain it as a separate package rather just patch the kde-plasma/plasma-desktop's one?

We want to be able to edit it easily without forcing rebuilds of plasma-desktop.
