Different screenshots for website and appstream.

That said, i really don't mind developers being able to update screenshots. 
They shouldn't be able to put new text on the website, or screw with the 
scripts, but simply putting screenshots somewhere to be picked up is not a 
problem in my books. (And yes, I realize that I can write "Free Tibet!" on a 
screenshot and upload that.)

We're responsible people. The problem is not irresponsibility, it's that our 
websites don't get updated often and that our app metadata isn't very 
complete.
