[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Bug#836385: Bug#836385: yubikey-personalization: Please announce supported hardware using appstream

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi Petter.

This seems like cool work, I like it.  So is it sufficient to add a
debian/yubikey-personalization.metainfo.xml and a .install file
placing the XML file in /usr/share/appdata?  DEP11 is tl;dr for me.

Below I'm just making XML up based on other examples.

This adds the YubiKey v1/v2 OTP, OTP+CCID, OTP+U2F, OTP+U2F+CCID modes
as well as the YubiKey v4 OTP, OTP+U2F, OTP+CCID, OTP+U2F+CCID, and the
YubiKey+ OTP+U2F.

Klas, does the PIDs make sense to you?

Petter, is the XML okay?  Are the <id> and <name> well chosen?  Is the
description suitable?  I'm not sure if the description should be for
the package or for the hardware, or both, or something else.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component>
  <id>yubikey-personalization</id>
  <metadata_license>MIT</metadata_license>
  <name>yubikey-personalization</name>
  <summary>Personalize YubiKey OTP functionality</summary>
  <description>
    <p>
      YubiKey Personalization allows you to configure the
      OTP-functionality of the YubiKey security hardware.
