Hi all!
I wrote appdata-generate[1] script as a proof-of-concept code. It takes
all *.desktop files in the current directory and creates appdata.xml
from them. It's written in python, so it should be easy to incorporate
into createrepo later (and it's not that complex, so porting it to
language, in which deb counterpart of createrepo is written in, should
not be hard as well). Comments/patches welcome as usual! :-)

PS: You can validate the resulting XML with the following command:
$ xmllint --schema appdata.xsd appdata.xml
