Package: file
Version: 4.25-1
Severity: normal


When checking python files the "file" utility etc often report the
filetype as "ASCII Java program text" (text/x-java). This doesn't seem
to be in /usr/share/file/magic so it must be a compiled-in check. I
guess it's the keyword "import" that's causing the confusion.

Some more testing suggests "Java" was fixed in wheezy, "Pascal"
pre-squeeze.
