Very good.  Note, the AppStream maintainer have told me that
/usr/share/metadata/ is the right place for the files now.  No idea when
that changed, but I trust him to know what he is saying, as he made the
consumer for this information.  I further believe the recommended
filename in this directory is <id>.metainfo.xml, ie
com.yubico.yubikey.ykpers.metainfo.xml in this case.

Nothing will explode.  The DEP11 database generator might complain on a
web page, that is about the worst that can happen. :)

The only way I know how to test it is to upload to unstable and wait a
bit for the change to take effect in the AppStream (DEP11) database.
Then you can run

  python /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/isenkram/lookup.py

to verify that the AppStream info is correct.

The XML data seemed correct to me.
