So the test result files were cluttering things, and are small in a
tarball, so I removed them from here:
https://verification.f-droid.org/*.apk.file.txt
https://verification.f-droid.org/*.apk.file.unsigned.txt
And they are now attached.

I'm not sure exactly where and when or if things changed. The essential
part of the bug report is that valid APK files are being inconsistently
detected as either JAR or ZIP. APK files are always JARs and always
ZIPs. If they are not being detected as APK, then JAR would make the
most sense,

Please clarify. The "tmp" (md5:67b44d779578cbddf6e17db92290e987) gets detected
as Zip in all versions of file supported
Package: file

Android APK files are the standard app package for Android. They are a
slightly custom version of JAR format. Basically, they are JAR files
with standard files included in them, a custom padding method, and now a
new custom signature format.
