Are we sure that the runs happened with latest lintian (and appstream) version? Please see below:

Salsa CI indicated the failure you point to in the past: https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/angband/-/jobs/7169907
But I just re-ran the pipeline and it is successful now, see https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/angband/-/jobs/8485654

The same is true for this package as well.

Past failure is at https://salsa.debian.org/lxqt-team/qps/-/jobs/8002752

But The latest salsa CI run on qps that run 3 weeks ago emitted no warning:

https://salsa.debian.org/lxqt-team/qps/-/jobs/8368919

My approximate guess is that these were failing with appstream version 1.0.6-1 and now work fine with 1.0.6-2.

I tried on my local machine as well, and I get no mapping warnings. Could you please consider
to double-check this?

Maybe re-run these jobs with latest packages and make UDD consume that?
