Thanks.

I've looked at the build logs it does seems like the fileinfo extension
uses the internal libmagic during build (verified upstream forced this
since PHP 5.3.0 at
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=ccc012d3f656236c29c075a9e5dfbe850e00915b
)

But I'm still not sure why do we have a libmagic-dev build-dep and a hard
coded dependency on libmagic1 for the various SAPIs. But that's a side
note...

The question is: do we want to patch this ourselves, or wait for PHP to
provide the fix based on the linked commits? I guess the latter would be
best, unless it will take them too much time.
