Details

file 5.26-1 installs /usr/share/man/man4/magic.4.gz describing the magic file format.
This should be in section 5, file formats. 4 is devices.
See intro(4) and intro(5) for confirmation.

It seems file's maintainers recognise this and provide the configure option
--enable-fsect-man5
Could this please be used. It may have knock-on effects, e.g. the existing
rmdir of the empty man5 directory.
This task depends upon
