I do not know much about wasm, but from lintian's point of view, both MVP and components would be considered as generated source, right? My reading online suggests that one would "generate" component and not write it by hand. > The following approach seems sensible to me: Prepare an updated lintian, > with a versioned dependency on file/libmagic 1:5.47.

This is likely not necessary. lintian was taking the `\0asm` part from webassembly file output [1]. Which changed from "WebAssembly (wasm) binary module" to "WebAssembly (wasm) binary" here [2]. Fortunately, the former is a prefix string of the latter, so all flagged things earlier should work as-is. I've fixed this with new file here https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/736 If you could take a look and give me a go ahead, that'd be great. I'll be happy to make an upload this weekend, so things go smoothly for you when you upload file, as lintian would have migrated to testing by then.
