Especially since libreoffice-startcenter.desktop is not in appstreams
dir:
$ dpkg -L libreoffice-common | grep appd
$ for i in writer calc base impress draw; do dpkg -L libreoffice-$i | grep appd; done
/usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-writer.appdata.xml
/usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-calc.appdata.xml
/usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-base.appdata.xml
/usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-impress.appdata.xml
/usr/share/metainfo/libreoffice-draw.appdata.xml
$
So how would it get their info from?
Or we do it together with
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883734 (and basically
removing the .desktop) though I still don't lkike that..
