You do, though I didn't.  :-)

zope.contenttype is a copy/hack of an older version of the mimetypes
module from Python's standard library.  I'm not sure it's a *good*
place to put the functions, but it's probably better than
zope.publisher.

zope.publisher.contenttype would need to remain for compatibility, but
should be able to simply import the functions from zope.contenttype.

I'll suggest the just copying the implementation module to
zope.contenttype.parser.  :-)  There are tests that will need to be
copied as well.
