You should probably complain to the freedesktop people.

All calibre does is install *.desktop files for the GUI applications it offers.
`update-desktop-database` is responsible for reporting on available file associations, and also for randomly setting defaults.
This has nothing to do with calibre and everything to do with Linux standards for mimeinfo.
