Package: hylafax-client
Version: 2:4.3.3-1
Severity: normal

typerules attempts to match PNG files by using a string with a
hexadicecimal character in the first position.  This doesn't work.  I
believe the problem is that hylafax does not understand the \x escape.

I changed the match condition to this
1       string          PNG
which works, but is probably a bit incautious (e.g., one could
probably make a numeric match on the first character and then add the
string condition).

That seems to be the only \x in the file.  The relevant lines seem to
be from a Debian-specific patch in 657_typerules.dpatch.

With that fix, I've given the rule a try; I used to be using my own
custom program to handle PNG's.
