My little mips machine is a home router with 64MB of ram. I've found two more packages with the same 'issue': /var/cache/apt/archives/libmagic1_5.11-2+deb7u3_mips.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/file_5.11-2+deb7u3_mips.deb I don't know anything about mips arch, but if most are little embedded systems it doesn't make sense to me building packages using these extra options. If there is a "mips team" or something like that could be they need to take some decisions about that. Now I have a work arround to fix my system's low memory problem repacking all needed packages (easily scriptable), so a 'wontfix' close will be fine to me.
