Public bug reported:

Upstream gnome-software is targeted solely at graphical applications. So
the app view has a large “No screenshots” placeholder, to encourage the
publisher to upload screenshots.

In Ubuntu the balance is different. gnome-software displays snaps as
well as .debs. And many snaps have only a command-line interface, or (in
the case of daemons) no user interface at all. It is still *possible* to
upload relevant graphics, for example a screenshot of a terminal, or
even a diagram. But it is much less likely, and those kinds of
developers are also less willing and able to do so.

Therefore, the Ubuntu version of gnome-software should omit the “No
screenshots” placeholder.

[This was discussed in the gnome-software design sprint.]
