This can't be done right now, because this would result in multiple
components claiming the same ID, while AppStream only allows exactly
one component to have a certain ID.
I added an "Architecture" key to the spec, which would allow us to
resolve these conflicts in future, but until that work is done, there
can only be one metadata file providing one component.

Jup, thatlooks like a mistake that was copied over from a different file  ^^

Yes, that's exactly what I have done now.

Thanks for the bug report!
