[Bug 2066183] [NEW] AppStream metadata allow user uninstallation of PackageKit

[AsciiWolf]

Public bug reported:

An AppStream metainfo file was added in PackageKit since v1.2.8.
Unfortunately, this file causes PackageKit to show in App Center, GNOME
Software, KDE Discover and other package management GUIs and allow users
to click an "Uninstall" button.

Please, consider removing the AppStream metainfo file from the Ubuntu
package until a better solution is found.

Here is an upstream PackageKit ticket:
