I fully agree but this has not happened so far.  If somebody intends
to feed this metadata into appstream files please let me know and
I'll extend the UDD importer.

You have a point here.  It seems somebody needs to do the work to sort
this out.  I'm fine with adapting things in UDD.

In the file debian/debian/galileo.metainfo.xml I can not find the type
of information we currently maintain in debian/upstream/metadata.  Can
you provide a better example?
