Hi,

ah, the AppData file seems to be in the cqrlog-data package (along with desktop icon files), not the main cqrlog one. I am however not sure whether this is supported by GNOME Software / KDE Discover and the Debian/Ubuntu AppStream generator itself[1]. GNOME Software on Ubuntu 22.04 (which uses cqrlog 2.5.2-1 package synced from Debian) does not seem to display valid metadata for the cqrlog package - it uses autogenerated metadata from its desktop file (and no icon) instead.
