Package: file Version: 1:5.25-2 Severity: wishlist file doesn't support detecting swp files from nano but it does support detecting swp files from vim. swp files are the temporary files that editors write out while a user is editing a file. It appears other editors than vim and nano support these files so the support should be generic instead of specific to vim. Samples from vim and nano attached.
