You can use libmagick without magick database by providing it our own 
database.
On the other hand I agree that libmagick would be more useful with 
file's database.
Since I don't have problem with file package containing just binary and 
man page I'm going to move database to file-libs.

Does anyone else think that separation of file and libmagick is not good 
idea?
