The Appstream validation report the following problem with the metadata
I submitted in BTS #1077051.

Errors

* gui-app-without-icon
The component is a GUI application (application which has a .desktop
file for the XDG menu and Type=Application), but we could not find a
matching icon for this application.

Warnings

* asv-desktop-app-launchable-missing
org.kernel.software.linux.pcmciautils.metainfo.xml -
This `desktop-application` component is missing a `desktop-id`
launchable tag. This means that this application can not be launched
and has no association with its desktop-entry file. It also means no
icon data or category information from the desktop-entry file will
be available, which will result in this application being ignored
entirely.

* missing-launchable-desktop-file
The MetaInfo file references a .desktop file with ID
'org.kernel.software.linux.pcmciautils.desktop' in its launchable
tag, but the file was not found in the same source tree. In order to
be able to launch the software once it was installed, please place
the MetaInfo file and its .desktop files in the same package.


I am very sorry about this. These block the metadata from being
included in the published database. The metadata got the incorrect
component (cut-n-paste error on my part), and should look like this
instead:

diff --git a/debian/org.kernel.software.linux.pcmciautils.metainfo.xml b/debian/org.kernel.software.linux.pcmciautils.metainfo.xml

With the correct type, the file validates:
