Drop python2.3 package.

Add magic for detecting compiled python 2.4 bits.
(Malone #18325)

5. By Matthias Klose on 2006-01-19

New upstream version.

* 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)

3. By Michael Piefel <email address hidden> on 2004-12-06

* New upstream version. Closes: #283316, a potential stack smash in ELF
  header parsing. Urgency set to high.
* /etc/magic is read, as it should (Closes: #279324)
* No further changes to increase the slim chance of getting into Sarge.

2. By Michael Piefel <email address hidden> on 2004-06-11

* New upstream version. This includes almost every patch that the Debian
  version had, so this package is very close to upstream's.
* Disable some more Apple magic (closes: #231476); curiously, most of the
  Apple magic is very weak.
* Disable very weak Assembler magic (closes: #223328)
* Disable weak AWK magic (closes: #223282)
* Added DjVu magic (closes: #238570)
* Removed erroneous 5th column in magic.mime (closes: #246428)
* Better error report messages in two places (closes: #243446, #252951)
* Use /etc/magic again (failed to touch Makefile.in, closes: #231306)
