Well, there is a bug for a fresh install but I think it's the fault of
the ISO creation process and debian-installer.

Test Case
-------------
1. Boot a Debian GNOME 9.2 live iso.
2. Open the GNOME Software app.

Workaround
---------------
1. Open a terminal and run sudo apt update
2. Then log out and log back in (or you can run pkill gnome-software)
3. Now open the GNOME Software app.

Suggested Fix
------------------
1. The ISOs should have initial appstream metadata pre-installed.
2. If the appstream metadata is not pre-installed (it might not make
sense with the traditional debian-installer), I suggest that the
installer run sudo apt update at the end of the install.

Thanks,
