Version: 1.0.0-0.1~exp
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: ni...@debian.org

The latest experimental NMU of gparted created a gparted-common
package and put the AppStream metadata in that package.

According to the guidelines
/usr/share/metainfo/gparted.appdata.xml
should be installed by the gparted package and not by a separate package.

Comments
========
I don't see  much benefit in splitting help and translations out to a
separate Debian package. It seems a surprising change to make in an
NMU, especially where I don't see a record of where this change was
requested or proposed with sufficient time for the maintainer to
reply.
