Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.1-3
According to the AppStream specification, the application binary should be
included in the same package as the .desktop and the AppStream metadata.
Unfortunately, VLC in Debian has the binaries in vlc-bin package. This causes
issues with GNOME Software and other modern package managers. Please, consider
dropping the vlc-bin package and moving its content to the vlc package.
