Review: appstream 1.2.0-1
Package Information
| Description | Software component metadata management AppStream is a metadata specification which permits software components to provide information about themselves to automated systems and end-users before the software is actually installed. The AppStream project provides facilities to easily access and transform this metadata, as well as a few additional services to allow building feature-rich software centers and similar applications. This package provides tools to generate, maintain and query the AppStream data pool of installed and available software, and enables integration with the APT package manager. The 'appstreamcli' tool can be used for accessing the software component pool as well as for working with AppStream metadata directly, including validating it for compliance with the specification. |

Potential Library Transition
The maintainer says no transition is needed and asked us to review anyway.
appstream-generator is already ready and just waiting for a suitable appstream to reach unstable (it has the right build-deps set). This transition will be extremely quick and does not need to be prepared in experimental. I was not aware that release-team coordination was mandatory for minor transitions like this (but I'll know for next time). The one dependent package is controlled by the same team and is already ready, so this update does not need release-team coordination.
