[csw-maintainers] When a shared library needs a data file

it's interesting that you dont seem to suggest another variant,
"ship the magic text file, with the shared lib package, since it is
useless without it".

the designation of "libmagic_common" is also odd in naming:
"common" denotes "information shared 'in common' across multiple packages".
What other packages would it be sharing it with? I didnt see indication of that.
