(Get the code!)
@ximion This seems like a reasonable approach to me. It would be my guess that a great majority of PPAs would not request its generation. If any package is in the standard ubuntu repositories its appdata would exist, and the app would then be found by gnome-software, but when installed would pull from the PPA if apt has determined that is the version to install. So it is only for PPAs that deliver software not part of the standard repositories that there is a need.
If there was a way on the Launchpad PPA home to be able to tick a box to request the PPA to have appstream-generator metadata created it would be of great benefit to those that are stuck. Thanks for the consideration.
