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

[Christoph Biedl]

Hello there,

a new Debian development cycle, time to brea^W play around :)

A new upstream release of file/libmagic has been accepted into
experimental a few moments ago, version 1:5.37-1. 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. A quick check
revealed diffoscope will break in the testsuite since the output for
gzip compressed files has changed, for example:

| capsys = <_pytest.capture.CaptureFixture object at 0x7efe8e034c18>
| 
|     @skip_unless_file_version_is_at_least('5.33')
|     def test_text_proper_indentation(capsys):
|         out = run(capsys, pair=('archive1.tar', 'archive2.tar'))
|     
| >       assert out == get_data('archive12.diff.txt')
| E       assert '--- archive1... -a\n│ │ +b\n' == '--- archive1.... -a\n│ │ +b\n'
| E           --- archive1.tar

My plan is to upload to unstable in a week from now.
