Dear Maintainer,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that magicfilter could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sorts the md5sums and conffiles files. Once applied,
along with the other pending reproducible patches on magicfilter,
magicfilter can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.

Sincerely,
Valerie
