Bug#833887: vlc: Does not install app icon

Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.4-3

1. From Debian "testing" with gnome, open the Software app.
2. Search for 'vlc'

What happens:
------------------
No results for vlc

What should happen:
------------------
vlc should be in the results

Suggested fix
------------------
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/yakkety/universe/issues/vlc.html

Debian also has an appstream issues page but maybe the generator needs
updating: https://appstream.debian.org/sid/main/issues/vlc.html

I think this could be fixed if vlc depended on vlc-data. vlc provides
the binary and the .desktop but vlc-data is needed for the app icons.
