Package: appstream
Version: 0.12.11-1
Followup-For: Bug #820533

I wish these files to be fetched. But imho, this has no place while doing apt
update. These fetches **will** block upgrading packages, which makes no sense

Just convert them on some service that feteches them once a day or something,
or even launch it every time you apt update to not change people expectations.
Or 5 minutes after doing apt update so they dont affect apt update speed... or
launch it as a trigger when apt update finishes... So many options

PS: Absolutely every desktop out there will benefit from this. Everybody will
suddenly think, wow, apt got very fast, how did they manage to do this magic?
Kudos to everybody involve. Without knowing somebody put this artificial delay
in the code
