I much prefer apsfilter over magicfilter, as apsfilter works, and magicfilter broke
fatally, but one thing that magicfilter does is Depend or Recommend most of the
filters you need to use. I've tried filing it as a bug against apsfilter, but the
Debian Bug reporting system doesn't like me much.
But, other than that, I'm offically out of ideas.
