apparently, the newer version of "file", when asked about the mime
type of an ISO image, reports:

  application/octet-stream

when, from what i read, it should (and used to) report:

  application/x-iso9660-image

the above unexpected(?) behaviour comes with file-5.37, and it's been
seen in the wild:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/1763570

is this a known issue? i checked bugzilla but didn't find anything,
and this change in behaviour is messing with some install scripts
which use "file" to verify that something is a valid ISO image by
looking for the string "x-iso9660-image".

  thoughts? others certainly seem to think this is a bug.
