Public bug reported:

Impact
=====
Someone looking for the new Extension Manager app in the Ubuntu Software app 
(or the GNOME Software app) to install and manage GNOME Shell extensions won't 
be able to find it.

https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/issues/gnome-shell-
extension-manager.html


Test Case
=========
If this works correctly,
This page should be created and look ok:
https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy-proposed/universe/metainfo/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html

And you should be able to see the app in the Ubuntu Software app. You
might need to log out and log back in to make sure the background
service for Ubuntu Software is stopped and refreshed.

We need to wait for the AppStream metadata to be generated by
appstream.ubuntu.com and published for this fix to work. I expect that
could take a day.

What Could Go Wrong
===================
The only thing this update is doing is moving the AppStream metadata to a 
different location. Since the AppStream metadata is currently not being 
recognized by Ubuntu's appstream generator, this can' make things any worse.

Other Info
==========
It is a big tricky to test and validate appstream fixes like this one. For 
instance, AppStream metadata is not generated for PPAs.

It's been a few years since I've done an AppStream fix like this. I
think the test case will work here, but there's a chance it won't.

For reference, here is the current error:
https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/issues/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html

And this page is missing because of that error:
https://appstream.ubuntu.com/jammy/universe/metainfo/gnome-shell-extension-manager.html

When this bug is fully fixed, those pages will still be there, but first
the jammy-proposed pages will look better and then jammy-updates.
