Heads-up: New upstream version of src:file in experimental

[Christoph Biedl]

Hello,

there hasn't been another upstream version upload of file/libmagic for a
while, but it was about time. Version 5.43 was released in October, I've
uploaded it with a cumulative patch into experimental tonight, version
1:5.43-3. As your package is one of those that somewhat suffered from
surprising feature changes of libmagic in the past, I'd like to give you
an opportunity to test and to prepare for any changes, for better or for
worse. In case of the latter, use the BTS as usual to report detections
that could see an improvement.

It seems there is a regression due to changes in the description of gzip
compressed files, (full log available upon request):

My plan is to upload to unstable in a week from now. Let me know if you
need more time.

Cheers,
