Did I misunderstand
| Ideally the upstream file package would take it over.
?

Perhaps a little bit early, because we didn't see Adams solution, but I would
like to understand the goals. Am I right that the intentions are

- Add a compatibility layer to python-magic[file] to support the feature set of
  python-magic[pypi]
- Provide in some way on Pypi the same featureset for file-magic and
  python-magic

?

If this would be the case, in my understanding there wouldn't be any need for an
ITP or transition, but just the possibility for (Debian) packages needing
python-magic[pypi) to use the then compatible python-magic[file].

Best regards,
Mathias
