I'm inclined to let distributions define generic types like gerber and
excellon. It would not be proper to define them in the kicad mime package
imo, as they are not kicad-specific. I can write up a package for standard
gerber files that can be installed optionally if the user doesnt have the
mime type installed. If the mime type is installed by the system just
putting the types in the .desktop as you did is sufficient.
