(Get the code!)
No, the issue isn't that the package was removed from the store. It's neither an app nor a scope, so the only way to get a preview is from the store scope. The problem is that the click scope code is designed to work specifically with apps and scopes, because it's what the store and click were designed to work for. Since we have a click which breaks that, the way we handle a couple of things when building the preview is apparently causing a blank preview to be returned.
Unfortunately, running the scope with debug output doesn't tell me anything overly useful, and looking at the code, I don't see exactly why it would fail. My best guess would be that we are trying to build the URI for launching the thing, from a .desktop file (assuming an app, since it's not a scope), which fails since there is no .desktop file. I have another branch in the works which refactors that code, to fix another bug, and which seems to fix this one as well, though.
