Try this, assuming the package files are stuffed in
debian/broadcom-sta-dkms by/ the build:

  appstreamcli validate-tree debian/broadcom-sta-dkms

It is me trying to explain to use the directory root created in debian/
by the build system before wrapping up the .deb.  I guess it should be
rephrased.  Any suggestions?

Would also work, but you should point it to the directory containing
"usr", not usr/share/metainfo:

I'll do a test build later today and see if I can find the problem.
