I assume you mean in the 16.04 (Xenial) release. You can see two
Appstream errors for siril here:
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/xenial/universe/issues/siril.html

However, this appears to have been fixed for Yakkety (to be released as
16.10):
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/yakkety/universe/issues/siril.html

As that site says, it is still a good idea to provide an appdata.xml
file to control the information the user sees. You can also include a
link to a donations page etc. :-)

I think it should be installed into the /usr/share/metainfo/ directory.
But you can find links to more information about it all here:
http://appstream.ubuntu.com/

Cheers,

Ross
