Debian Lintian reports the following error:


E: denemo-data: appstream-metadata-legacy-format usr/share/appdata/org.denemo.Denemo.appdata.xml
N:
N:   The AppStream metadata contains the obsolete root node &lt;application&gt;. It
N:   was used in a a legacy format. The application metadata for your package
N:   should follow the new format described on freedesktop.org.

N:   You can validate draft formats with 'appstreamcli validate'.

N:   Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines and

N:   for details.

and the following warning:

N:
N:   AppStream metadata file was found in /usr/share/appdata/. The AppStream

The warning regarding the legacy location may be fixed with this command:


sed -i "s/appdata/metainfo/g" $(git grep -l appdata)


But modernizing org.denemo.Denemo.metainfo.xml would take more work.
