Bug#703274: why the epoch update on file?

Such an upload could have been done in testing-proposed-updates. That really wouldn't have helped. The problem is that builds of packages on s390x are (well, were) broken _in unstable_ by the version of libmagic _in unstable_. Any breakage in testing is purely a side-effect of broken packages built in unstable migrating.

Why did this upload have to bump the epoch number up? It seems to me a 5.11-2.1, or -2.2 upload would have been fine here.
