"libappstream does that by default, check /etc/appstream.conf
maybe hughsie dropped that from appstream-glib
the main problem is that we don't know if a screenshot on screenshots.d.o actually exists
so with libappstream, people will get a filler image in that case
maybe that wasn't wanted
implementing support for this in GS or as-glib should be rather simple though"
