Dear Matthias,

I marked DEP 11 as DRAFT on http://dep.debian.net/ and added a DEP 0 header on
http://wiki.debian.org/AppStreamDebianProposal.

Perhaps you can add a short explanation about what AppStream is for ?  I did
not find a short and simple introduction on the upstream web page.

Have a nice day,
