there are separate issues with the appdata files in 2.5.9 (that have
since been fixed upstream):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/merge_requests/22
so the issue only shows up in 2.6.0 (which just landed in unstable
today)

ah, i might have gotten confused about the file name due to it being
overwritten during the build. i do most of my packaging work from a gbp
tree, and that tree has the generated files already pre-stripped (via an
import-orig filter in debian/gbp.conf).
Looks like upstream does in fact ship a copy of these generated files in
the tarball, though, so i probably should mark them in debian/copyright
anyway.
I'm closing this ticket because it looks like i do need to mark the
generated file in d/copyright anyway, which means there's a more obvious
fix for me to do in this packaging.
sorry for the noise!
