Status in “file” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: file

In Kubuntu 9.04 the 'file' command returns application/x-iso9660-image for an iso 9660 image.
In Kubuntu 9.10 the 'file' command returns application/octet/stream for the same iso 9660 image.

file  version 5.03-1

To check;
Create an iso image with 
$ genisoimage -o myiso.iso ~/somefolder

Check mime type with
file --mime myiso.iso

It seems to affect the package "uck" as it checks the mime type of the file. 
To check try to create a custom image of karmic with uck.
It appears a message that the files seems not to be an iso 9660 file.
