Yes, I assume it would happen on Debian if you are running i386! Otherwise, steam is uninstallable in GNOME Software (that's what this bug is originally about, and I haven't forwarded my changes to Debian yet).
I can verify the debconf issue with GNOME Software using the PK backend on Ubuntu. Debian's steam uses debconf like they do because you are supposed to agree to the steam install agreement before installing :( https://sources.debian.net/data/non-free/s/steam/1.0.0.54-2/steam_install_agreement.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to appstream in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564570 Title: Gnome Software catalog entry missing for Steam except on i386 Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in appstream package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in appstream-dep11 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in steam package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in appstream source package in Xenial: New Status in steam source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in appstream source package in Yakkety: New Status in steam source package in Yakkety: Triaged Bug description: A very beautiful app, but is missing in the Gnome-Software catalog!!!
