Just a follow up: I apologize for my rants in previous messages. The rants were mostly due to my poor judgement in my grumpy mood due to lack of sleep. They were definitely unwarranted and unfair.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the maintainer of this package, Julian, for taking the best course of actions for dealing with this issue, concluding with the filing of the following bug report: Bug#772713 - RM: app-install-data -- ROM; Outdated/Not really used anymore https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=772713 and the app-install-data package has already been removed from both unstable and testing (jessie), and thus would not end up in the upcoming Debian 8.0. I look forward to interesting new developments with AppStream data for "Software Center"-type software!
