Lintian tag: appstream-metadata-legacy-format
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags

The AppStream metadata contains the obsolete root node <application>. It
was used in a legacy format. The application metadata for your package
should follow the new format described on freedesktop.org.
You can validate draft formats with 'appstreamcli validate'.
Please refer to https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines and
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#sect-Metadata-GenericComponent
