Package: lintian
Version: 2.119.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: peter@pblackman.plus.com

Dear Maintainer,

Since the release of version 2.119.0, the package trackers for many (possibly all)
packages that have Appstream metadata are showing the warning
 "appstream-metadata-validation-failed".

However, the metadata is valid according to
"appstreamcli validate"  &  "appstream-util validate".

The link in the tag notes
  https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines
does not contain any clues as to what might be the problem here.

If these are not false positives,
please provide information on what maintainers are expected to do about them.


Appstream is an optional upstream feature.
Please consider introducing Appstream related tags at a lower severity than Warning.


Regards,
Peter

Maybe this 'bug' can be closed, but I would suggest
improving the tag notes, with clear instructions on how to run
appstream validate-tree

Again, I'm no expert, but changing the tag description isn't very technical and I'll be happy to review and merge a MR against Lintian for this on Salsa.
