+Subject: Heads-up: New upstream version of src:file in experimental
+
+Hello there,
+
+A new upstream release of file/libmagic has been accepted into
+experimental a few moments ago, version <DEB_VERSION>. As your package is
+one of those that somewhat suffered from surprising feature changes of
+libmagic in the past, I'd like to give you an opportunity to test and
+to prepare for any changes, for better or for worse. In case of the
+latter, use the BTS as usual to report detections that could see an
+improvement.
+
+My plan is to upload to unstable in a week from now.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Brace for impact.
+* Watch upstream git for the first round of bugfix commits.
+
+Before uploading to unstable
+
+* Check https://release.debian.org/britney/pseudo-excuses-experimental.html#file
