I took a look at an old Alt Linux 2.2 installation I still have and I found that it didn't have the update-mime command either. It then occurred to me that maybe the .mailcap file isn't created or updated when a package is installed, but rather when a program is run. I deleted the OpenOffice.org entries from my .mailcap file and sure enough, after running OpenOffice.org, the MIME definitions were restored. So, I guess both my questions are answered.
