Hello,

We had to bump ruby-marcel to a newer version because the mimemagic
dependency - which relies on GPL-licensed mime type data from
freedesktop.org’s shared-mime-info project - is removed. Marcel now
directly uses mime type data adapted from the Apache Tika project,
distributed under the Apache License. This is the only major change
here + some other bug fixes to get everything working.

ruby-marcel has been in unstable for around 9 days now[1]; I've done
some testing and it all works OK w/ Bullseye, so it should be good to
go.

Since this is licensing + bug fix, I believe it'd be a good idea to
have this included in Bullseye; this is also needed for rails to be
unblocked (another separate request).

Attaching a filtered debdiff for your review. The command used to
filter the debdiff is as follows:
filterdiff --exclude='*/APACHE-LICENSE' --exclude='*/.*'
--exclude='*/data/*' --exclude='*/script/*' --exclude='*/test/*'
--exclude='*/Gemfile.lock' --exclude='*/README.md'
../ruby-marcel.debdiff

Let me know if you need any other information from my end. Thanks!
