* Add Build-Depends to python, although I really don’t see the point of the
  python package (since file Build-Depended transitively on python2.3
  anyway), which claims to be a dependency package only (closes: #333859)
* Disabled EMF detection as it not only caused false positives, which might
  have been acceptible, but a segmentation fault (closes: #333502)
* Move the magic databases from /usr/share/misc/file to /usr/share/file;
  this still violates the FHS in letter, but not in spirit; this is
  different from the position in other distros (closes: #215139, #278478)
