[arch-general] file-5.14 - change in how information is read from vmlinuz?

[Oon-Ee Ng]

Hi, I previously used the output from `file /boot/*` on the various
vmlinuz files in /boot/* to detect what kernels were installed on a
machine. As of file 5.14 this no longer works[1].

I'm not sure what's changed, perhaps the magic.mgc file? When I copy
the magic.mgc file from previous (5.13) version of the file package I
get the 'expected' output[2].

Not sure if this is a bug or simply a change in behaviour.
