Our packages are different, because I obviously didn't use the
GNOME-team packaging guidelines ;-)
Does GS work for you? If so, where did you get the metadata from,
since GS doesn't use appstream-index data in Debian (yet), and with
the version you packaged it also isn't able yet to consume other
metadata sources (except plain .desktop files).

Yes, but can you maybe add me as co-maintainer?

We should test this stuff in experimental, together with PK 0.9, as
soon as it becomes ready (I am working on the remaining dependencies,
but since this is also upstream work, it might take a little bit more
time)
Cheers,
   Matthias

P.S: Just curiousity: Does the GNOME-team policy allow maintaining
stuff in Git as well? Or is SVN mandatory?
