This affects the AppStream data they are generating - if they don't
ship that data, all AppStream-based software centers are affected -
the SC application itself doesn't know at all where the data comes
from (and that's a good thing!). However, the official recommendation
is to include everything which has a .desktop-file and/or AppData
file.
