Bug Description

Various installers create local deb packages that can then be installed via software-cetner. There are various issues here:
- no screenshot
- no icon
- not visible under installed unless update-apt-xapina-index is run
- hidden in the history window under "Unknown"

There should be a way (maybe via additional json metadata for those local debs) to fix those problems.
