The same basic problem also occurs with MIT and Expat licenses. The specification for the AppStream metadata file only has a few options, one of them being MIT and none of them being Expat.
https://freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Quickstart.html#qsr-app-contents
Debian, of course, prefers the Expat name as it is more precise.
Which leads to this Lintian warning:
inconsistent-appstream-metadata-license debian/metainfo.xml (mit != expat) [debian/copyright]
