Package: firefox Version: 98.0-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch It would be great if Firefox would ship appstream metainfo¹ so Firefox can show up in "Software Centers" like gnome-software making it (un)installable for users that don't want to resort to the command line.
Since the appstream info ties to the desktop file it sounds reasonable to ship that within the debian/ folder like the desktop files. A merge request is at https://salsa.debian.org/mozilla-team/firefox/-/merge_requests/5 I've filed this at severity whishlist since I don't think we mandate the existence of appstream data anywhere within Debian yet.
