Package: file
Version: 1:5.14-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The version of File in Unstable/Sid (currently 5.14) seems to report
less info than, say, the 5.11 version in 7.1/Wheezy.

For example, the attached file generates the following output on
a Wheezy installation:
    escapevel.ti5p: Zip data (MIME type 
"application/vnd.nz.gen.geek_central.ti5x"?)

whereas on Sid I just get:
    escapevel.ti5p: data

The file is a Zip archive, following the ODF convention of beginning with an
initial uncompressed "mimetype" entry. The older File correctly sniffs this out,
the newer one just seems to give up recognizing it as a Zip archive altogether.
