Control: tags -1 + patch

Here is a proposed debian/patches/1020-appstreamcli.patch solving the problem,
alongside a patch for d/control:

debian/patches/1020-appstreamcli.patch:

Description: Switch appstream metadata check to use appstreamcli.
 The appstream-util tool is intended for removal from Debian, while
 appstreamcli is maintained both upstream and in Debian.
