file package maintainer here ...

Dear maintainer,

the next version 5.47 of the file package is currently in experimental,
and as I've learned via the pseudo excuses¹, this introduces a regression
in your autopkgtest.

Root cause: The output of file has changed:
-SVG XML document
+SVG Scalable Vector Graphics image

Please adjust your test accordingly. If you want to wait until file gets
uploaded to unstable, fine for me.

Related, understanding the regression wasn't easy as the autopkgtest
log³ basically contains "FAIL non-zero exit status 1" without giving an
idea why. I'd like to ask you to add more verbosity to the test,
preferably in the form of "expected vs. got".

If "Making other maintainers' life easier" isn't enough motivation, I
might remember the autopkgtest authoring guidelines suggest to be rather
verbose.

Kind regards,

    Christoph
