Kid3 listed twice on the KDE apps page

Hi Ben,

Yes, there exist two different packages for Kid3:

- kid3: Kid3 with KDE dependencies for users of KDE
- kid3-qt: Kid3 without KDE dependencies, only Qt, for users of other
desktop environments

Common code is in libraries and plugins. kid3-qt is also the base for the
Windows, macOS and Android packages. Although it is possible to provide
such packages using Craft, the Kid3's build system for other platforms is
hand-crafted and provides much smaller and better looking packages.

The flatpak is the KDE version because there is only a KDE runtime and not
a Qt-only runtime for flatpak. Therefore, only the kid3 package has a link
to flathub. But there seems to be a problem with the other link
(AppStream/Discover), it is broken for the kid3-qt package because a dash
is not allowed in the name and therefore it wants to
access appstream://org.kde.kid3_qt.desktop, which does not exist
(probably appstream://org.kde.kid3-qt.desktop would work, but then the
appstream validation would fail). Can this be fixed?

Another problem is that the two entries look more or less the same,
probably the title of kid3-qt should be adapted to Kid3-Qt if possible.

Best regards,
Urs
